(BOSTON, MA) Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts announced today their plan to introduce a Girl Scouts license plate to Massachusetts. In order to do so, the Girl Scouts need to receive 3,000 applications for their specialized plate by September 28, 2010.
“We understand this is a lofty task,” said Ruth N. Bramson, CEO of Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts. “This license plate is a wonderful way to support and celebrate Girl Scouting in your family whether you are a current Girl Scout or a generation of Girl Scouts. This is a sustainable fundraising tool which will support programs that have been making a difference in Eastern Massachusetts for nearly 100 years.”
The license plate, which will feature the famous Girl Scouts logo, sells for $40.00. The application for the plate is available at the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts web site at www.hergirlscouts.org. The application must be printed and mailed with a check payable to Mass DOT to the Girl Scouts at: Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts, Attn: License Plate, 95 Berkeley Street, Boston, MA 02116
By purchasing a Girl Scouts license plate, Massachusetts residents can help girls to discover their interests, and improve the world around them. Girl Scout supporters can now show everyone on the road that their family is a Girl Scout family and they care about developing tomorrow’s leaders.
