Congratulations to Girl Scout Troop #8893 for being recognized by The City of Marion for receiving the Governor's Hometown Award!
To earn the Girl Scout Silver Award, Troop #8893 helped The Lighthouse Shelter, which serves area homeless people. The shelter had recently been impacted by flooding, so the Girl Scout Troop hosted a fall festival and collected supply donations from participants as the entrance fee.
Their efforts earned an Honorable Mention Governor's Hometown Award from the Serve Illinois Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service. The Governor's Hometown Award program gives formal recognition to communities that contributed to their community’s quality of life via projects that had strong volunteer support, met a need, and made a definitive impact.
A large sign recognizing the award-winning service project will be on display in Marion.
