Girl Scouts are launching a search to contact the 50 million Girl Scout alumni and invite them to a grand 85th anniversary celebration in 1997.
The reunion will be held in downtown Oakland on March 12, 1997.
Bay Area Girl Scout chapters are helping in the search by distributing alumnae search cards in tandem with their Fall Nut and Calendar Sale, which began Nov. 15. The cards, asking women to share stories of their Girl Scout experiences, include a box to check in order to request invitations to the celebration.
The celebration will provide opportunities for former Girl Scouts to get reinvolved with the organization.
The San Francisco Bay Girl Scout Council provides programs for girls who are pregnant, homeless, migrant or newly arrived in the country. Girl Scout programs are in place in more than 100 Bay Area public schools.
Interested individuals can obtain an alumnae search card and more information about the Girl Scout reunion by calling 1-800-447-4475.
Information can also be obtained at the Council's Web site: http://www.sfbgirlscouts.org.
