Women Inspiring Girls Luncheon

Yesterday Girl Scouts of Central California South hosted the first annual Women Inspiring Girls Luncheon at Roger Rocka's Dinner Theatre in Fresno! Almost 200 people from around the valley attended this premier event. We honored three amazing women from Fresno; Nancy Hinds - Founder of Hinds Hospice, Olga Martinez - President and CEO of Allright Diversified Services. Inc, and Ashley Swearengin - Mayor of the City of Fresno. This spectacular event honored the achievement of these women as an ongoing inspiration to all girls throughout the valley.
The event was hosted by Girl Scout MC's Molly, Danielle and Andrea of Fresno. Molly and Andrea are currently working on their Girl Scout Gold Award and Danielle is working on her Girl Scout Silver Award. The opening was done by Girl Scouts from the Clovis area. The Brownie and Junior Girl Scouts helped people to see that when we look at the Girl Scouts of today we should not just see them as children, but as the future of our country. Maybe even the first woman president! The event was closed by a song and dance from some our local Girl Scouts.

Each of the honorees was given a special award as well as a commemorative Pendant specially designed and sponsored by Karkazian Jewelers. They were honored with a special video presentation and much more.
The event would not have been possible without the support of our sponsors:
Clawson Honda of Fresno, AT&T, Union Bank of California, Eye-Q, Catalano Fenske and Associates LLC, Heald College, Mavrick Marketing, Save Mart Super Markets, Dorthy "Penny" Buller and Sally Caglia.
We are also very thankful for our generous Media Sponsors:
CBS 47, KJEWEL 99.3 FM, KYNO 1300 AM, and The Fresno Bee.
