Hey everyone! We hope you're having an amazing summer so far. Guess what? Kendall and Maci from our local Girl Scouts troop are gearing up for an awesome new Girl Scout year and heading back to school!

On Tuesday, August 29th, these bright and enthusiastic young ladies paid a special visit to the Friendsville Town Hall, and guess what they brought along? COOKIES! 🍪🍪🍪

It was such a delightful surprise to see their smiling faces and receive these delicious treats. Not only are they spreading joy and sweetness, but they're also learning important life skills and building their confidence through their Girl Scouts journey.

Let's all give a big shoutout to Kendall and Maci for their dedication and hard work. We're so proud of you both and can't wait to see all the incredible things you'll achieve in the upcoming year.

So, here's to a fantastic Girl Scout year, successful school days, and of course, enjoying those scrumptious cookies!

Please join us as we discuss the One Maryland One Book, "There There" by Tommy Orange. "There There" weaves together a cast of twelve interconnected characters from across Native communities, as they converge toward the Big Oakland Powwow. Some contend with sobriety and mental health, while others desire to preserve cultural dance and history. A few, meanwhile, plan to rob the powwow's contest cash prize. Through these multiple facets, filled with pain, humor, sorrow, and ambition, Tommy Orange gives readers a riveting, modern portrait of the urban Indian experience.
