The Girl Scout Cookie program, which is the largest girlled entrepreneurial program for girls in the world, helps Girl Scouts fund unique adventures for themselves and their troops all year long. Each Girl Scout Cookie purchase fuels local Girl Scouts’ adventures throughout the year: exploring what interests them, discovering their passions and taking action on issues they care about. Whether they’re using their STEM skills to solve a problem, changing a law to help their community, having a courageous outdoor experience or starting an innovative nonprofi t, Girl Scouts build a better future for themselves and the world. Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, including by earning new Cookie Business badges, girls get a taste of being entrepreneurs and learn important online and offline business skills that set them up for success in life. Monica Grehs is a member of Troop 83409 and sold a total of 1,000 boxes this year. Monica will use her cookie credits to fund going to Girl Scout camp. During the 2022-2023 Cookie Program, 2,202,539 packages were sold by Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts, and 700 Girl Scouts were a part of the 500 Club. Troops earned over 1.9 million dollars in troop proceeds, and Girl Scouts earned $217,207 in cookie credits, all of which will be used for programming and enrichment.

Viscay said the health center had a total budget of $2.1 million with the funding coming from the American Rescue Plan Act, federal funding to help ease the eff ects of Covid on state and local government. According to Viscay, the goal was to use the funding to get something up that would give some kind of perpetual benefi t to the city. So far, approximately $700,000 of that money has been spent on lease payments, design work, insurance, cardio equipment and salaries. “That’s where we are with fi - nances,” said Viscay. But the problem hasn’t been funding. “There were a lot of problems with the building,” said Viscay. “There were problems with the fi re suppression system, ADA compliance issues, mold and other problems. We are on the right track to get this building open,” for a utility company for over 20 years, as well as being Chief Steward for his union, which is a very rewarding position! The Revere Republican City Committee’s next meeting will be on Wednesday, June 21, at 6:30 p.m., at the American Legion. For additional information, contact Republican State Committee Members Paul Ronukaitus (ronukaitus@comcast.net) or Joyce Kelly (joycemariekelly@ gmail.com) said Viscay, who added that it’s the city’s hope that membership fees and programming will keep the center self-sustaining. “We’ve been stuck in the mud with the building, but we’re hoping now for a late summer opening,” said Viscay. Serino asked to send the motion requesting information to the Health & Human Services CHRISTOPHER LOMBA Revere Republican City Committee Chair Subcommittee. He also asked that Susan Gravellese, who was appointed general manager of the health center, come before the council before the official opening to publicize the center. Rizzo agreed to send the request to the subcommittee, adding that he would like to know more about the operational cost of the center. Lawrence A.
