MARYANN ’ S INSPIRATION LETTER
We are very pleased to share this year ’ s Annual Report edition of our Citrus Peel ! The 2018-2019 Citrus Council business year was a very active one in growing G . I . R . L . program and advancing property improvements .
During this year , we focused heavily on laying groundwork for the overall business growth planned for 2020 — not to mention our role in hosting Girl Scouts and Girl Guides from across the world at the G . I . R . L . 2020 Convention and National Council Session !!
I want to thank all of you , especially our girls . You inspire us daily to hold our Citrus Family close at heart and reach for our shared dreams for your Girl Scout experience . We learn from our girls every day that we do , in fact , have the power within each of us to make the world a better place . To our adult volunteers and parents , we thank you for being a part of delivering on our promise to girls and our mission . The girls are the heart and you are the backbone of our Girl Scouts of Citrus culture and the mission of our nationwide Movement .
We hope that the pages to follow will ignite your spirit and make you proud to be a part of the Citrus Family . As I am often heard to say , we are ALL Team Citrus , all working toward the same goals and mission . Each girl , volunteer , parent , staff member , and community partner who blessed us with their time , talent , and treasure this year has a share in our Council ’ s success story . Thank you and may 2020 be our best year yet !!
