PMImpact

To get us going on #PMImpact, we are starting to crowdsource the PMI community’s personal stories, on how PMI members have impacted their neighborhood / community / municipality for greater social good (be it Covid response, Diversity / Equity / Inclusion). For more on this initiative, see here.

Our #PMImpact starts with our Chapter President Pamela Clapp’s story:

My daughter put in a free little library in our community that is focusing on Non-Traditional Protagonists as a response to the injustice that they have been learning about this year.  Her and a friend have worked on raising money, going before the village, and even collecting books.  This went "live" on October 5th and they have already had 100’s of books go into the hands of children visiting the park. 

This is Kat and Addie, they are best friends.  This year they decided to work on their Girl Scout Bronze award by addressing a need in their community.  Access to books that have a wide range of protagonists.  They have worked hard this year by determining the focus on their project, meeting with the local officials, fundraising, marketing, designing, building, and placing this Little Free Library.  They have committed to taking ownership of this project until they are Seniors in high school which at that point they will either transfer to a local finally or a younger Girl Scout.
