A Message from Our CEO Our hearts go out to the residents of Haywood County and surrounding areas as Tropical Storm Fred swept through western North Carolina last week, dousing the area with heavy rain and causing severe flooding. Even as the water receded, Haywood County residents are still dealing with all the destruction and officials have estimated that hundreds of families have been displaced by the damage, some lost their homes and, sadly, five people have lost their life. As Girl Scouts, we are called to help our sisters and our community when and where there is a need. The Haywood County newspaper, The Mountaineer, has compiled a list of businesses, churches and nonprofits that are offering assistance — as well as organizations seeking donations and volunteers. In addition, if you or your troop would like to send support to Haywood County families and are not sure where to start, you can mail gift cards (Ingles, Publix, Walmart, Dollar General, etc.) to Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont c/o Laura Allison at 37 College Place, Asheville, NC 28801, and we will direct your donation where it is needed most. If you know of any Girl Scout troops or families that are in direct need of assistance, please contact us at info@girlscoutsp2p.org. Yours in Girl Scouting,  Jennifer L. Wilcox CEO Did You Hear There’s a New Cookie Coming?
