Dear Bowler Bob,

As leader of Girl Scout Troop 11279 I want to personally THANK YOU for helping my 6th grade girls earn a badge on “Team Work” last week!

Your energy and enthusiasm for bowling is amazing! Yet, what is even more amazing, is your ability to draw parallels between that game and real life!

Using big goofy bowling shoes and colorful pins, you taught my troop about leadership, problem solving, compromising and handling peer pressure. These are important life skills that my girls will take with them into junior high. You did this with your wonderful sense of humor and by sharing stories from your own life experiences. I can’t thank you enough for sharing part of yourself with us.

Your message really hit home with the girls. In fact, the day after your workshop I received several phone calls and emails from parents wanting to express their gratitude for the message you brought their daughters.

Yes, there will be many “Bobstacles” in their young lives. But, I am sure their new found positive “Klattitudes” will be there to help them through all that comes their way in life! You made a difference in the lives of these young girls.

Thank you for sharing your time and talents with Girl Scouts!

Sincerely

Connie Wetzel
