On October 12^th, Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas held  its Real Girls Real Women Awards Luncheon. For those of you who are not familiar with this annual fundraising event, it affords us a wonderful public venue in which to highlight the impact Girl Scouts makes, not only on our girls currently going through the program, but also on women leaders whose Girl Scout experience imparted leadership skills they continue to use. This year, we had the privilege of honoring three dynamic women – Ebby Halliday, Harriet Miers and Becky Sykes – as well as two girls – Haley Ann Avery and Ashton Gepfert. What tales of thoughtful leadership they all have to share!
