Gnomes Invite You to Help Celebrate Girl Scout Week
Girl Scout Week is celebrated each March starting with Girl Scout Sunday and ending with the Girl Scout Sabbath on a Saturday. It always includes the Girl Scouts birthday, March 12th. This year Girl Scout Week will be held from Sunday March 6th through Saturday March 13th. East Providence Girl Scouts will be holding a Gnome Hunt for a fun and memorable way to celebrate the 110th birthdate of Girl Scouts. All East Providence residents are invited to join in the fun!
How does it work? Beginning on March 6th and ending on March 13th, ten (10) Gnomes will be hidden in East Providence (Riverside, Central, Rumford) and you are asked to find them. You will have to go to Facebook.com and then the East Providence Girl Scout Facebook page to read the riddles and clues to the places where they will be hiding. Be careful. They are fast and tricky! Once you find a gnome, scan the QR code on its back to let us know where it was hiding. We ask that you put the gnome back in the spot where you found it so that others can find it. Please take a picture of you and your gnome to share with your gnomies. In April, there will be a “Hanging With My Gnomies” party at the East Providence Scout House to celebrate finding all ten gnomes. (Details will follow at a later date.) Good luck and Happy Gnome Hunting! Can you find ten (10) gnomes hidden in various locations throughout East Providence? Test your detective skills and see if you can locate them by solving clues and riddles.
6th Annual Cookies & Cocktails Event!
In March 2022, Girl Scouts will celebrate its 110th anniversary and Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England is celebrating with our delicious annual event, Cookies & Cocktails!
Once again, the festivities are shaping up to be an incredible evening celebrating 105 years of Girl Scouts selling cookies. Local chefs will be creating scrumptious desserts using everyone’s favorite treat—Girl Scout Cookies! We have partnered with some of your favorite restaurants: Bettola, Hemenway’s, Boat House, Iron Works, Res American Bistro, Sin Desserts, and Knead Doughnuts to showcase our cookies “out of the box”.
“This event is a fun (and tasty) way to support your local Girl Scouts. Proceeds from Cookies and Cocktails help us provide financial aid, camperships, and support our Community Outreach programs so all girls can benefit from participating in Girl Scouts. We want to ensure that every girl who wants to be a Girl Scout can be a Girl Scout. In today’s environment, with increased inflation we understand that these costs can impact many families’ ability to take on additional expenses for their children’s activities. Your support will allow us to provide financial assistance wherever it is needed,” said GSSNE COO, Ginger Lallo.
Attendees will enjoy savory hors-d’oeuvres, tasty Girl Scout Cookie creations, and the opportunity to bid on silent auction items. Tickets to this event are $60 per person. The evening will be emceed by the one and only Mario Hilario WJAR—a treat in itself! (Please note this is a 21+ event.)
The event is scheduled for Thursday, March 10th from 5:30pm to 8:30pm at the Crowne Plaza (The Atrium) located at 801 Greenwich Ave, Warwick, RI.
