Girl Scouts Launch Centennial with Star-Studded Kickoff Luncheon
DALLAS – With the 100th anniversary of the Girls Scouts of the USA just around the corner, the Northeast Texas chapter decided to kick off the “Year of the Girl” in style. To assist in honoring several individuals at its annual Real Girls Real Women Awards Luncheon, the organization brought in tennis champion Venus Williams to provide her inspiring words to the nearly 1,000 people in attendance.
Recognizing the unique opportunity presented by its Centennial observance, the Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas asked the messaging architects at Corporate Magic to take the event to the next level, cementing an indelible impression in the audience’s mind that the organization is vibrant, relevant and well-positioned for its next century of service to the girls and young women of America.?
Dallas-based Corporate Magic was enlisted to craft the messaging elements around the event and to design, stage and manage the show’s flow. The company also designed the centerpieces made up of cookie boxes for each table. Corporate Magic donated its services, including all labor required for the event. Alford Media Services also donated the audio/visual equipment.
“We were tasked with leaving a lasting impression of the Girl Scouts as one of the most important institutions in the country, particularly with regard to developing the female leaders of our future,” said Meg Lohr, International Account Manager for Corporate Magic. “Venus lent her star power to the festivities, but we made certain that the real stars of the show were the ‘real girls’ and ‘real women’ that were being recognized for their outstanding contributions to the community here in North Texas.”
“This was, without a doubt, the best luncheon we have ever had,” said Colleen Walker, Chief Executive Officer of the Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas. “The team from Corporate Magic truly raised the bar and created an experience that none of us will ever forget. Most importantly, they played a major role in showcasing Girl Scouts to the community, helping propel us forward into our second century of Girl Scouting.”
The annual Real Girls Real Women Awards Luncheon, held Nov. 18 at the Hilton Anatole Dallas, was emceed by FOX4 anchor Clarice Tinsley and featured presentations by U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison and keynote speaker Venus Williams.
