November 14, 2011 is International Girls Day.
This event started in 2009, when a small group of girls came up with the idea to create a day just for girls to celebrate what makes girls special. With the help of their mentor, they took the idea to Kappa Delta Sorority and together they created International Girls Day on behalf of the Confidence Coalition. With the message, “She Can Do Anything!” the celebration recognizes the spirit of girls and encourages girls to make their dreams a reality. The celebration takes place each year on November 14th.
This is the inaugural year for the National Charity League to promote this day. The NCL-Frisco Chapter is taking the lead and going full force ahead implementing the celebration of this special day. Since they are one of the first chapters to embrace International Girls Day, they expect to be highlighted on the National website for the Charity League and for the Confidence Coalition.
On Saturday, November 12th spectators at the Frisco Community Parade will witness a sea of blue balloons as a group of girls from the Frisco Chapter participate in the Parade. Each balloon will have a hand-written message on it. Examples of the messages are: “You Can Do Anything!” “You Can Change the World!” and “You are Beautiful - inside and out!” During the Parade the NCL girls will hand out balloons to the women and girls watching from the sidelines. I expect there to be smiles galore as the personal messages are read by the balloon recipients.
