Timeline!

I Finally Completed My Timeline.
Finally.
I got it done.
It has 32 steps and is estimated to be completed around November 21, 2016.

I'm eager to continue the project further, and ready to actually start making bigger steps in the process. Thank you everyone who agreed to help me out, and volunteer your time to such a good cause.
The next step is to tweak my proposal, and send it in to the board! Sounds like an activity for tomorrow... I refuse to put this project off any more!

Allow Me To Explain.

Allow me to explain. 

GS Uniforms: The girl scouts are allowed to choose between a vest and a sash.

Cookies: Because I'm a Juliette, I'm exempt from selling Girl Scout cookies. Do I still like them? Heck yeah, I love them. But I don't miss selling them. It's difficult to be an older Girl Scout and be expected to sell a certain amount of cookies. People tend to buy cookies from little girls rather than older girls.

What's the Point?: Well. "The Girl Scout Gold Award looks good on an application."

The most common phrase from people that aren't in Girl Scouts. No. Sure it looks good but that's not the point. The point is to help people and to do something good for society. However, I will not discount the benefits of the award. It is the HIGHEST AWARD IN GIRL SCOUTS. So you get bragging rights (just kidding). It is a sense of accomplishment and pride that you can actually help the community. Members of the US Military can also be accepted as a rank higher, due to the leadership role that the award portrays. and of course. It looks good on resumes and to colleges, some that even offer scholarships. But it's mostly about the accomplishment.

Getting Back in the Game.

Getting Back in the Game.

Nobody should make excuses, but I'm going to. Council approved my project with reservations, and to be honest I was crushed that I didn't have it perfect. I need to re-do my project timeline, show exactly where funds are coming from, and have background checks and letters from those helping me at TREE House. However, I decided that instead of getting everything done right away, that I would wait until after my vacation, my mission trip, and my veterinary medicine study at Kentucky State University. And, now my mission is to get back in the game, to make this project happen. So, I have contacted my project manager from TREE House, and have recently received a letter back, explaining to GS Council that yes, TREE House will love and keep the bookshelf. Forever. The very next step is to name and describe the volunteers helping me, create an accurate timeline, and re-fill out some fancy paperwork to get things officially going.
Ready, set, let's roll.
