Girl Scouts of Northeast Kansas and Northwest Missouri – Tough Cookies
October 27th was the date for Girl Scouts of Northeast Kansas and Northwest Missouri’s Tough Cookies. Joni Wickham and Sly James served as the co-chairs. The event brought individuals together in a community conversation with an hour-long presentation about developing strong, resilient, and confident girls in today’s world. Guests enjoyed listening to a teen panel of Girl Scouts and remarks from Keynote Speaker Dr. Andrea Bastiani Archibald. A lovely cocktail reception was held afterward.
