North Ridgeville Review The Community That Cares
The highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can earn is the Silver Award. Scouts focus on a project which has meaning to them which will benefit their community. Rose Saxon-Housum of North Ridgeville Girl Scout Troup 50603 is an 8th grader at the N. Ridgeville Academic Center who has an A average in her classes while taking honors classes at the high school and manages to sing in the Select Choir, play clarinet in the 8th grade band, play basketball on her 8th grade team, and is now working on her Girl Scout Silver Award. Her project is an ambitious effort to improve the backstage area at the Olde Towne Hall Theater here in North Ridgeville. Rose chose this project because she and her twin brother are very active in the youth theater and she last performed there as Tweedledee in “Alice in Wonderland”. Currently she in charge of Props for the show “Sister Act” at OTHT which runs every Friday and Saturday through March 7 with a Sunday matinee on March 1.
Rose wants to help make the backstage area more useful and comfortable for performers. The theater’s limited funds help make each production as wonderful as possible for the audience, but over the years this part of the theater has fallen into disrepair.
Scouts plan, fundraise, and execute the complete project through their own efforts and the help of others. They are not permitted to use their own money for the project and Rose is making hand-crafted glass magnets which she designs and sells at local craft shows.
If you would like to volunteer to help with construction or to make a donation of lumber, other building materials, or, of course cash, Rose asks that you please contact her through her mom Marci at marci@saxonhousum.com or 216.374.4266
