  WHEREAS, She will be honored at a Girl Scouts of NYPENN Pathways Young
Women of Distinction event in May 2011; and
  WHEREAS, Girl Scouting has cultivated in our nation's young people the
goals of building solid values of sisterhood and the importance of work-
ing with others, stimulating both mind and body, instilling  pride,  and
encouraging community service and success; and

young women who have participated in the programs which have  made  Girl
Scouting an American and international institution; and
  WHEREAS, To earn the Silver Award, Rachel Zine completed five require-

Silver Award community service project which Rachel Zine planned, devel-
oped and executed; and
