Spring 2006 Highlights
Fifty's Feeling Younger Every Day!
Last October's National Council Session/50th Convention in Atlanta is memorable for its celebration of the organization's recommitment to girl-leadership. And the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace Museum, newly refurbished at age 50, captures the aura of the founder's youth in mesmerizing detail. In-depth articles on both in the spring issue of LEADER make for lively reading about an organization that's feeling younger because girls and young women are more involved than ever before—just as Juliette envisioned.
"Girls Go Centric at Convention" focuses completely on girl involvement at the Convention, with special coverage of the 2005 National Girl Congress, a two-day event, concurrent with the National Convention, and a look at the 2005 Young Women of Distinction Gold Award Recipients.
"The Birthplace Museum Turns 50" goes far beyond the elegant and renovated walls of Juliette Gordon Low's childhood home to capture the spirit of a woman who "could turn the simplest event, like going to the market, into an adventure worthy of the Arabian Nights." Tour the birthplace museum and get to know the young-at-heart Juliette better in her own words, from a variety of seldom-cited sources.
