Tribute to Katie
Katie Walker
Katherine E. Walker, or “Katie” to those of us who knew her, passed away on August 12th. It can be said that she devoted her life to teaching and helping young people. With a degree in Education from Northwest Missouri State University, her career began at the Kingdom Christian School in Fulton, Missouri.
Her involvement with Girl Scouting began as a Brownie and continued throughout her life. For over thirty years she was a GSUSA Master Trainer and a Service Unit Manager or Neighborhood Director. Katie’s devotion to volunteering went with her all over the United States and military bases overseas, touching such councils as Midland Empire, Sooner, North Atlantic, Kentuckiana, and Wagon Wheel.
Katie served as council camp staff for three summers and received the Thanks Badge in 2008. She was a Membership Marketing Manager for Heart of Missouri before joining the staff of Girl Scouts of the Missouri Heartland as a Membership/Community Development Specialist last year.
Katie was loved and respected dearly by those who knew and worked with her. She will be greatly missed.

Cookie Booth Locator
Now on the Council Web site, a Girl Scout cookie booth locator! 
You can search for a list of booths in a certain distance from you, or use maps to see booths in an area at a glance.
Please note, though, that this tool has just been released and is dependent upon vonlunteer leader participation to add their booths–so the information is not complete! If you’re a volunteer leader, use the link on the locator page to add your cookie booth!
The booth locator can be found here: http://www.girlscoutsmoheartland.org/boothfind

LMK: Life Online – for the digital Girl Scout

“Welcome to LMK, the newest interactive Web site for teens from Girl Scouts and Windows. Created with help from teens like you and industry experts, you’ll get the know-how to navigate safely through your online life and even help your parents understand it too. We know how important it is to you! Go ahead, explore the site create a profile and make an impact.”
What is LMK?
LMK (“let me know”) is an online safety campaign created in partnership with Girl Scouts of the USA and Microsoft. The campaign includes an interactive Web site for girls, as well as an e-newsletter and Web site for adults. Each month, an all-girl editorial board explores a different internet safety topic online and then shares what they learned in the e-newsletter, which is distributed to adults the following month.
