American Legion Auxiliary Is Sponsoring a Full Scholarship to Girls State

Dear Berlin Residents

Do you know of a junior girl that would like to:

• Develop her leadership skills and pride in America
• Learn about government while meeting young women across the state
• Get a glimpse of college life and add it to their applications and resumes
• Attend the entire activity at Stone Hill College June 17th- the 23rd 

The Berlin Women’s American Legion Auxiliary is sponsoring a fully paid scholarship for this amazing opportunity.

Responses from previous winners that attended

“I had no idea what it was going to be like” “there were so many activities, I was never bored” “The best part was a mock government, and we were in “made up towns” and stayed together in the Stone Hill College dorm” “You could be part of your town or run for even higher offices, 2 girls from our group went to national girl’s state” Martha Seed

 “It was a life-changing experience for me” “I came away with 24 new amazing friends that I will cherish for the rest of my life” “I learned so much about government and the economy I never knew” “In three days I knew everyone’s life story, we laughed and cried together and created an unbreakable bond” “We all didn’t want to leave” Abby Hyatt

Please submit a letter of interest to Seedsx4@gmail.com  with your name, email, and local address as well as why you would like to go and a  pledge that you can stay for the entire program.
