Local Businesses Can Help Girl Scouts through CFO Program

This year Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois’ Fall Product Program will feature a Creative Funding Opportunity (CFO) Program. Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors (grades 6-12) have the chance to connect with local business owners and explore various careers by offering businesses an online means to purchase quality items for corporate gift giving.

The CFO Program is designed specifically for Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors (grades 6-12) who participate in the Fall Product Program. It allows girls to hone their communications skills by connecting with local businesses. This direct contact not only offers businesses an online means to purchase quality products for corporate gift giving but opens up career exploration opportunities for girls.

The CFO Program offers a deluxe line of products in elegant tins and cut glass jars. Product previews are available at www.ashdonfarmscfo.com. All items are ordered online with credit for the purchase going to the girl or troop participating in the CFO Program.

Through GSNI’s Fall Product Program girls offer gourmet food items and magazines to family, friends and favorite Girl Scout Cookie customers! Girls will be taking orders for the 2011 Fall Product Program from October 14 to October 28.

The Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois (GSNI) Fall Product Program now also gives community members the chance to donate delicious snack items and new magazines to members of the military while helping raise funds to support local Girl Scouts! Product previews are available online at http://www.girlscoutsni.org/fall_product_line.html.

To order, ask a local Girl Scout or e-mail your order to info@girlscoutsni.org where it will be filled and delivered by a Girl Scout in your area.
