Lemons and a Journey

I've been asked to lead the girls' Junior Girl Scout Troop on a Journey called the Agent of Change.  The journey will take a few months meeting every other week and culminate in a Take Action Project of their own planning and choice.  I LOVE doing this kind of thing and hopefully making a difference in the lives of these young girls.

Today I made some yummy delicious lemon poppyseed muffins for the girls to enjoy tonight during the meeting.  I chose lemon because the journey will be introduced by first reading about a local boy named Max (cute name, right?) who organized a monthly lemonade stand locally last summer to help a community shelter for women/children.  Max wasn't looking for a service project but wanted to do more for the residents of this shelter after touring it during a 4th grade field trip.  We should all be more like Max and look for opportunities to serve and improve the lives of others.  I hope the Girl Scouts tonight will be motivated to open their eyes and be "Agents of Change" over the coming weeks for ways to help people, the environment, etc.
