The Shop hosted a “Mini Spa” morning where the girls learned the importance of dressing for success in business.  While we discussed the importance of appropriate attire and accessories, we spent time providing the girls with proper skin care techniques and the importance of beginning a daily skin care routine. The program was presented by Lisa-Marie Hintze, Sales Director – Mary Kay Cosmetics.  Ms. Hintze did an AMAZING job with the girls and they all came up to me after to tell me what a great time they had.  At the conclusion of the meeting, each girl received a certificate of completion, fun patch and goodie bag.

Immediately following the end of the morning session, we had an Awards Ceremony.  We presented the Service to Girl Scouts Award to Abby Schulte, Bekah Horsely, Emily Mioduszewski, and Emily Mischak.  Since completing the Junior Retail Specialist Program, these young ladies have each worked well over 40 hours in the shop.  These ladies are the first to receive this award from the Shop.  We have two others (Heidi Blitch and Kaitlyn Peters) who are anxiously awaiting their ability to receive the award as they are Juniors and the award is available for Cadettes and above.

All attendees elected to stay and assist in the shop after the end of the Annual Meeting.  Sales we a bit off from years prior so we had some down time and were able to discuss Business Ethics as a group.  We discussed scenarios and how the girls felt the scenarios should be resolved.  They did quite well with this exercise and each girl earned a Business Ethics fun patch.
