Liz Murray will be the speaker at the 2010 Juliette Low Leadership Society Luncheon in Oklahoma City on Feb. 18. at the Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club.
Murray’s story was told on Lifetime Television’s orginal movie “Homeless to Harvard.” It is her story of living with two drug addicted parents and how she was homeless at age 15, but finally went to Harvard on a scholarship. “Liz Murray’s story of the stuggles she faced in her young life in order to reach her goals is an inspirational story that we believe will encourage young people in Oklahoma City, especially the girls served by Girl Scouts in our community,” Linda Whittington, co-chairman of the luncheon said.
“We are looking forward to hearing her speak at the Juliette Low Leadership Society Luncheon, but are also grateful that she is taking additional time while she is in Oklahoma City to speak to local students. Providing opportunities to learn about leadership is what Girl Scouts of Western Oklahoma is all about, ” she added.
Whittington and Ann-Clore Duncan are chairmen. To purchase a ticket for the luncheon, go online at www.gswestok.org/jlls.

This is a very precious Thanksgiving message from the Girl Scouts….we add our own message of thank yous to those who make differences in our lives. HFW
This is the season of giving thanks to those who make a difference in our lives.
All of the staff at Girl Scouts-Western Oklahoma wants you to know how important you are to the organization and, most importantly, to the girls we all serve.
Without your dedication and support to the mission of building girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place, we would not be able to provide the leadership experience to thousands of girls in western Oklahoma.
Have a very happy Thanksgiving,
From the staff of Girl Scouts-Western Oklahoma
