Happy New Year, everyone! At Girlstart we absolutely love celebrating the coming of the new year. It's a time for all of us to reflect on the amazing accomplishments and highlights of 2007 while blazing an exciting new trail for 2008! This month I'd like to tell you about a great opportunity for girls to jump right in to 2008 in a powerful, fun and educational way. Girlstart will host Expanding Your Horizons (EYH) on March 29th and I simply can't encourage you enough to check it out for the benefit of the 6th to 8th grade girls in your life. Registration will open January 7th and the cost is only $25 per girl. Space is extremely limited and expected to fill up fast, so register while there's still space. Girls will have a chance to do fun, hands-on workshops with professional women who will give them the low down on what's happening in the worlds of math, science, engineering and technology. It's especially fun for girls who come with their friends, so group registrations are not only accepted, but encouraged. So help the girl in your life start a dream or continue her journey in the new year. And don't forget... registration for our super-cool Summer Camps are also beginning in January. Here's to a year of success, fun, exploration and joy in 2008!

We were so thankful to have volunteers help us host our first ever Science Extravaganza community camp this month! Volunteers led over 450 attendees in activities ranging from making DNA strands out of candy to designing constellations to building rollercoasters and rockets! The energy and enthusiasm of our loyal volunteers had a huge impact on the success of the event. Way to go, volunteers!
