An Award Straight From the Heart
Head over to Ohio's Lancaster Eagle Gazette and read a truly awesome story about Girl Scout troop leader Amber Wellman. Recently, Wellman donated one of her kidneys to her co-leader, June Panetti, thus saving her life. Wellman's generosity earned her the first ever Ohio's Heartland Straight from the Heart Award - created after the Girl Scouts of Ohio's Heartland heard about Wellman's lifesaving deed. Kudos to everyone involved!
