What an amazing accomplishment  for Monica's daughter  in making  so much 
better now for anyone blind disabled  persons. I hope now Cosi's  will spread 
the word of how important it is to have braille and assistance to  other  
places. Congrats  to Monica's daughter for getting  such an accomplishment. 
Also what the Girl Scouts is an organization that helps girls make  
accomplishments,grow,and gain strength in what they do and it's really good that  
the organization is not leaving out  girls that have visual issues adn  
disabilities to gain  successful growth.
Thank you, Elizabeth

We have been asked to pass along this information:

 Girl Scouts of Connecticut Offers Handbooks in  Braille 
Beginning in 2013,  Girl Scouts of Connecticut is offering many of its 
popular National  Program Portfolio Resources (handbooks) in Braille.  
The books were made  available through a gift for printing provided to Girl 
Scouts of the USA.  This gift honors the memory of Jane O’Connor Verhage, 
who was a former  Girl Scout troop leader, Board Member, and former Director 
of Volunteers  for Braille Institute of America. Girl Scouts of Connecticut’
s Program  Department requested that this free resource be made available to 
all of  Connecticut’s membership. 
All three  Leadership Journey books are included in this collection: It’s 
Your  World, Change It! It’s Your Planet, Love It!, and It’s Your Story,  
Tell It! These Leadership Journeys allow girls to hone their  leadership 
skills while exploring a particular topic. Each Journey has a  selection of 
activities and experiences that are tied to the 15 national  outcomes of the Girl 
Scout Leadership Experience, which helps girls  discover themselves and 
their values, connect with others to build healthy  relationships, and take 
action to make their world and community a better  place. This collection 
includes both girl books and adult guides.  
Other current Girl  Scout resources also available for Girl Scout Daisies 
(grades K-1),  Brownies (grades 2-3), Juniors (grades 4-5), Cadettes (grades 
6-8),  Seniors (grades 9-10) and Ambassadors (grades 11-12) include The Girl’
s  Guide to Girl Scouting and Skill Builder sets.  
Members who wish to  borrow these resources may contact Girl Scouts of 
Connecticut’s Program  Department at 1-800-922-2770 or _program at gsofct.org_ 
(mailto:program at gsofct.org) .
