earning the prestigious Girl Scouts of the USA Gold Award, their 
highest honor.

keep the shelter animals healthy and entertained. She also sponsored a 
community adoption event for animals at the shelter and Pet Harbor and 
the importance of proper animal healthcare. What an accomplished and 
caring young woman. The leadership skills Trudy has learned through 
Girl Scouts are already benefiting our community.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Trudy Rogers for receiving the Girl Scouts of 
the USA Gold Award.
