Emma in the Spotlight

As you may or may not know, Emma is involved with Girl Scouts and is having a great time with it. Did you know that every other year there is a National Convention for girl scouts? Well, we didn't either. But 2008 was the year to have it and they held it here in Indianapolis in October. All the girl scouts in the area were invited to participate in the opening or closing ceremonies so Emma and two girls from her troop got to dance in the opening ceremonies. She had a great time and met some new friends. I didn't know quite what to expect, seeing as this is just an extra curricular activity for us, not a way of life, but after being at the convention I realized that there are many women and girls all over the country, and world even, that are very serious about this and for them it is a way of life. While I don't ever foresee becoming that involved in it, I am happy to know that it is a great organization that does so much good for the community as well as helping to develop girls into strong, capable women. I'm glad Emma had the chance to participate!
