Next Thursday (March 8th) is International Women's Day, a global holiday that commemorates the continuing political, social and economic achievements of women throughout the world. This year's IWD theme is Connecting Girls, Inspiring Futures, meaning if we can spread the message of female empowerment to young girls today, we'll have "brand advocates" for female equality tomorrow.
What better way for those of us in the floral industry to show our appreciation towards young women on IWD than to donate flowers to organizations like our local Girl Scout troops?
Theirs is a mission to build "girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place." In essence, the Girl Scouts embody the very principles on which International Women's Day was founded, and they instill these values in girls early in life. Furthermore, the Girl Scouts of America have marked 2012 as The Year of the Girl. It's hard to ignore the correlation between the two themes.
This March 8th, why don't we give a little happiness (aka flowers) to these bright young women to go along with their badges?
