is excited to host our 6th annual Cookies and Cocktails on Thursday, September 14 at 5:30 p.m. at Panther Creek Country Club. This unique event features a creative culinary competition where talented local chefs create a variety of delectable desserts incorporating our very own Girl Scout cookies!
All attendees will have the pleasure of tasting these amazing desserts and local celebrity judges will select their favorites for the People’s Choice and Judges’ Choice Awards. In addition, this delightful evening also includes the sweet sounds of the ukelele by Emilele, savories, a signature cocktail, a fabulous silent auction, our Denney Jewelers $1000 Plus prize wall, and a chance to take home the coveted new Raspberry Rally's! Please join us for our talented Guest Speaker, Gold Award Girl Scout, Ko'u Hopkins. Recommended attire for the evening: business casual or cocktail attire.
Funds raised through the event will support local Girl Scout programs that teach essential life skills in STEM, financial literacy, civic engagement/advocacy, health/wellness, and the arts. With over 12,000 members and 3,000 volunteers in our region, your generous support is essential in helping us provide and expand these programs that cultivate girls’ inherent leadership potential, confidence, and character to shape the future.
Special Thanks to all those who will help make this event a success...
