Girl Scouts of Nassau County (GSNC) recently honored Floral Park residents Lydia Becker, Eva Bose-Chatteron, Allison Maidhof, Phyllis McGovern, Fatima Perry and Christine Reisig, at its 2023 Annual Adult Recognitions Award Ceremony and Dinner. The annual event, which was held at the Inn at New Hyde Park on March 21, recognizes and celebrates the adult volunteers for their service to Girl Scouts of Nassau County and to their communities. Becker, Bose-Chatteron, Maidhof, McGovern, Perry and Reisig were among 110 honorees throughout Nassau County.
“It is because of the hard work and dedication of all our volunteers, that Girl Scouts of Nassau County can provide impactful leadership opportunities for girls in our area. Each of our Adult Recognitions Honorees has made a significant impact on our organization and help spread the Girl Scout mission,” said Randell Bynum, the CEO of Girl Scouts of Nassau County. “Thanks to their contributions, we can continue building girls of courage, confidence and character, who continue to make this world a better place.”
Reisig was awarded the GSNC Continuing Service Award for Volunteers. This award recognizes those that have been awarded the Appreciation, Honor, or Thanks Badge after continuing their service to Girl Scouts for an additional five years after receiving the initial awards.
