Happy 2010!  At Girls Inc of Worcester we are bringing the new year in by moving forward with our strategic planning process and updating the look of our Providence Street building with new windows in the Fuller Aquatics Center.

It has been a great week - very full and a lot of fun (and food!)

WEDNESDAY: Val Loring and Janet Jones, two long-time friends of Girls Inc, co-chaired a THANK YOU luncheon for former members of the Girls Inc Board and other long time friends on Wednesday.  The event took place in Alden Hall - old friends reconnected with each other and Girls Inc as we talked about the needs of girls today, the life-changing role of Girls Inc for girls in our community and renewed our commitment to growth and greatness as we move toward our Centennial in 2016.
