Girl Scout Junior Encampment The Girl Scouts of Western Ohio Green Hat Society is sponsoring and staffing a camping overnight at Camp Libbey for Girl Scout Juniors. The girls will work to earn the “Green Hat Society” badge, an “Our Council’s Own” badge. This badge is designed to build a bridge between Girl Scout Juniors and Green Scouts, giving Green Scouts an opportunity to share their songs, traditions, ceremonies, Girl Scouting experiences, and camping expertise. It is an awesome camping experience for troops invited to attend (only 18-24 Girl Scout Juniors will be invited to attend).

“The Elixir of Love” on Friday, February 20th, 2009 at the Schuster Center.  In this comic opera which takes place in a small Italian village, the young and flirty Adina is wooed by the poor and gentle Nemorino, and the shallow and preening Sgt.

Tickets available for $20 per person: includes three workshops on Voice, Make-Up Design, and Dance at 4pm, a backstage tour of the Schuster Center, tickets for the 8pm show, and a participation patch!  Call David Brush at 937-228-7591 x3034 to register.
