Homework
I am writing a paper for Social Studies on Clara Barton. Right now I’m looking up how she helped soldiers. It’s nice to be able to do my homework at Girls Inc.

Parallel Parking
The most memorable time was last Thursday. It was downtown, dark, rainy, and we had to learn how to parallel park in the Old Market. It was soooooo hard! – Denai
Programs, Programs & More Programs
I love days of excellent programming! We’ve got Map It Out, sports basics, My Girlfriend Zelda, GIRLStart, Lego League, art, and more all going on today. Ooh… I wonder what the end of the week will bring??! Wait! Wait! It’s the end of October – we have our Harvest Party this Friday for all of our girls! Oh, how I wish I was a Girls Inc. girl!!

All Work and No Play Makes Ms. Emily a Dull Girl
After a couple of days of (grueling!) workshops at the Girls Inc. regional conference in Oakland, CA., we got a night off. Board member Marie Roscoe, Ms, Emily, and I took a ferry to Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. There were no onboard workshops on ferry safety.

Making Books at Girls Inc. Regional Conference
Although I spent most of my time at the Girls Inc. regional conference in board development workshops, I did sneak in a brief book making session. This is something I think girls of all ages would love to do. Lots of girl-friendly instruction such as “fold your paper hot dog style” or “fold your paper hamburger style.” Get ready to see blog entries about girls making their own books…
