She got her gold! Back in July, I wrote an article about Kirkland Highlands’ resident Mia Cooledge and her quest for the Girl Scouts highest award, The Gold Award. Mia got the gold by donating 45 blankets to the Union Gospel Mission’s Women and Children’s Shelter. Here’s how she did it.
Mia’s plan went viral with people from all over the world taking an interest. Not only did she collect blankets for the Mission, she got a number of different people involved in giving. The synergy created amongst the people involved was a terrific extra. Perhaps getting people together to give was the ultimate goal.
Congratulations to Mia.
