Girl Scout Wins Special Prize from Stamp Club

Alicia Perez, age 10 (Ocala Springs) is onehappy Girl Scout. A member of Troop 125, her ticket was drawn for an album commemorating America’sFirst Ladies offered by the General Francis Marion Stamp Club in Ocala. The club held a drawing as part of its exhibit at the West Central Florida Council’s “Discover the World” event, held on April 14 at Vanguard High School. Close to 300 area Girl Scouts were on hand to celebrate the 100^th Anniversary of Girl Scouting in America.

In addition to special illustrations and stories about each of the Presidential wives, the album features postage stamps commemorating the Presidents. Teresa, Alicia’s mom and a teacher at Ocala Springs Elementary School where Alicia is a 4^th grader, said that the album is a perfect compliment to next year’s 5^thgrade American history class.

Stamp Club Immediate Past President, Don Parsells (Spruce Creek Preserve) drew attention to the club’s youth outreach mission and expressed pleasure in being able to make the presentation.
