Three win Girl Scouts’ highest award
Lincoln residents Samantha Donaldson, Anna Dutkewych, and Alexandria Taylor recently received the Gold Awards from Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts (GSEMA). The award recognizes girls who identify a community need, develop a sustainable solution, and demonstrate exceptional leadership through a significant service project.
Samantha introduced the File of Life program, an organizational system recognized by first responders to the community through workshops, an informational table at the State of the Town Meeting, email outreach, and direct distribution, successfully providing over 300 File of Life cards to town residents. Anna built three raised garden beds on wheels for the Council on Aging & Human Services, allowing seniors to grow fresh vegetables and herbs to enhance the nutritional value and flavor of their meals. Alexandra provided like-new books through donations, created a library navigation curriculum, and partnered with Nosy Crow Publishing, and collaborated with the South Sudanese Enrichment for Families program to teach children and families how to effectively access library resources and cultivate a love of reading.
