Thank you Emerald Island Casino! (Bridget S., Girl Scout Troop 80)
Everyone has a special place in their heart for Girl Scout Cookies. Not only because they’re spectacularly delicious, but also because purchasing Girl Scout Cookies powers the Girl Scout Cookie Program and helps girls fulfill their dreams, gain great experience, and help to improve their communities.

Everyone loves getting and giving gifts. Who doesn’t like “pressies”? ​ It probably comes as no surprise that the number one requested gift for nine years running is the gift card. It is hard to believe that the little credit card sized, electronic gift card that we know today really hasn’t been around all that long.  The first gift card was introduced by Blockbuster Entertainment in 1995 and was followed shortly thereafter by Neiman Marcus, Mobil Oil and Kmart. ​ (more…)
