Board of Directors and CommitteesEach year the GSHPA elects new members to its Board of Directors and its Board Development Committee. The Board of Directors governs the Council by establishing its policies and strategic direction, providing financial oversight, and developing organizational assets through fundraising. The Board Development Committee identifies potential board members, officer and board development committee candidates (and when necessary national council delegates), explores their interest in service and presents a slate of nominees to the membership for election at the GSHPA annual meeting. Standing committees of the Board include the Fund Development, Audit and Finance Committees. The Council periodically invites qualified non-Board members to join these committees. GSHPA members should contact boarddevelopment@gshpa.org to express interest in serving on the Board or its committees or for information about submitting a nomination.

Foxfire HouseLocated in Camp Furnace Hills in northeastern Lancaster County, Foxfire House is a 19th Century bank house and is on the National Registry of Historic Places. Girl Scout and local volunteers offer workshops on 18th and 19th Century skills and crafts with emphasis on the Pennsylvania German culture. Schereschnitte, quilting, rug braiding, fracture schriften, and cornhusk weaving are typical subjects. As a Site Aide, you can step back in time into the life of Pennsylvania German settlers. Or, if you prefer to become a Foxfire House Tour Guide, you will learn and share the history of Foxfire House. Tour Guides are asked to give only one tour each year to Girl Scouts or other visiting groups.

Each one has definite likes and dislikes, hopes and fears, talents and limitations. Brief conversations among the puppets present information about their abilities, disabilities and problems in clear, uncomplicated terms. By becoming a Kids on the Block Volunteer Puppeteer, you will help GSHPA address contemporary issues which touch the lives of young people in our community. A learning experience like Kids on the Block can help children accept the physical, mental, ethnic, and cultural differences within our society.
