Who will be the first person to try out our new "donation" button on our website www.mainelygirls.org? We are raising money for our first MG SUMMER LEADERSHIP CAMP ~ to be held August 1-5 at the Jack Mt. Bush Craft School in Masardis! If you know of a girl going into high school who might like to spend a few days with other girls from Aroostook County, send her our way! And THANK YOU for your CONTRIBUTION!
Haleigh Holmes and Vanessa Rafford from Ashland, performed at the Maine Pitch on Friday night in Warren. They talked with some 50 girls from Belfast, who are going into high school next year. It was POWERFUL to watch stories unfold and connections being formed! They covered topics of sexual harassment, grief, and the need for girls to help one another. Everyone agreed that girls are being "sold" some idea that beauty is perfection, and that there are many distractions to being healthy and happy! Much more worth our time and effort! Girls need to stand together ~ lots of ROUGH STUFF happening to girls in the world at large.
*Thanks to the Maine Arts Commission for the grant that provided funds for two Mainely Girls performance groups to meet weekly this year, and to reach out to other girls from other places in Maine.
