NEW! Hornets Girl Scout Awards Night - April 11
The New Orleans Hornets invite you to a special game where they'll honor Girl Scouts!. A very special guest speaker presentation designed exclusively for Girl Scouts will start the evening. Come enjoy a unique discussion with female business executives as they explain how they earned success and leadership through courage, confidence, and character and how you can do the same.
Pre-game ceremonies will then give on-court recognition to the girls of GSLE who have earned their Silver or Gold Award between May 2009 and April 2010 (qualifying girls should contact Claire Dudenhefer at (225) 852-8421 to make arrangements to attend this recognition). Random Girl Scouts will also be selected to participate in other exciting promotions throughout the game. Everyone is invited to take advantage of the special discounted ticket rates and come enjoy the final regular season game with the New Orleans Hornets!

Dove Real Beauty Workshops
Every day we are bombarded by hundreds - if not thousands - of air brushed images of "beauty." These images have the power to affect how we see our bodies and ourselves.
How can we encourage young girls and women everywhere to embrace a more positive image of themselves, both inside and out? You can start by participating in this upcoming Dove Real Beauty Workshop for Girls.
The Dove Real Beauty Workshops for Girls are fun, educational and interactive sessions for young girls and the adult leaders/advisors. By attending this workshop, you'll learn how society creates ideal images of beauty and how to engage young girls in a healthy dialogue about self-esteem.
