Ask Sam: The Glammys
[Written May 2019]
Hello, my fellow GlamourGals! Sam here with some marvelous news:
Get ready to walk the hot pink carpet!
For all my new GlamourGals out there, you might be asking yourself:
The Glammys are GG National’s way of honoring you GG volunteers for your outstanding service throughout the year. So far for this service year alone, GlamourGals Chapters all over the country have around 300 senior interactions! And these numbers are only counting the ones reported back to us at GG National.
They also can’t account for how many hearts have been touched by a GG visit. Nor the number of stories told and shared, the number of talented performances given, and the arts and crafts projects created for and with the seniors in your communities. GlamourGals all over the country have gone above and beyond to exemplified the GG Mission.
So the Glammys is your time to shine, GlamourGals! Let’s celebrate your effort to end senior isolation and build confidence in yourself and your leadership capabilities.
The Glammys hosts guest speakers and fellow GlamourGals who speak at the event, including the winners of the Glammy Scholarships! So all rising seniors, don’t forget to apply for scholarships next year: You could be one of our future Glammy Scholarship winners!
All GlamourGals who have earned their Intergenerational Service Award can receive their certificate in person at the Glammys. Remember that the Intergenerational Service Award enables you to request recommendation letters as well as LinkedIn endorsements from GG National, and this award can be used on a resume!
At the Glammys, we’re going to have a lot, and I mean a LOT, of stuff to give away.
We’re hosting a full-on jewelry bar for you all to take the jewelry you can carry!
And that’s not all: We’ll be having goodie bags filled with so much more stuff. So be ready to leave with arms full of GG gifts especially for you!
There will also be GG Goods on sale, like our t-shirts and hoodies. If you are in need of a new shirt, here’s your chance!
We’ll also have our other GG merchandise like our pop sockets, graduation cords, and our new hair ties without the shipping fee! Don’t miss out on this opportunity to get your hands on some GG swag.
And of course, we will have treats for a nice mid-afternoon snack!
So come to the Glammys, calling all GlamourGals! It’s right here in NYC!
And don’t worry GlamourGals, all volunteers have till June 30th to earn their Intergenerational Service Award so make sure to keep track of your hours and journals to get that certificate!
At the end of the day, all GlamourGals who’ve been to 1 or 100 makeovers should be proud of themselves for contributing to another wonderful year of GlamourGals!
That’s all for now!
All GlamourGals can earn a service hour by answering this journal prompt.
GG National looks forward to reading your answers! Email us at chapters@glamourgals.org if you have any questions. We’re here to help! See you all at the Glammys!
