Girl Scout volunteer appreciation
ON APRIL 22, GIRL SCOUTS OF THE USA will celebrate the ac-
complishments of its over 880,000 Girl Scout leaders and other volun-
teers. On behalf of the entire board of the Texas Plains Girl Scout
Council, I would like to thank all of our local volunteers for contributing
so much time and effort to the Girl Scout movement. You truly make a
difference in the lives of girls.
Without volunteers, quite simply, there would be no Girl Scouting.
Our volunteers are the very heart of Girl Scouts, and we are grateful to
them for the contributions they so selflessly provide. This is why
GSUSA has designated April 22 as Girl Scout Leaders Day—to ac-
knowledge Girl Scout leaders and other volunteers whose commit-
ment, dedication and constant effort help girls grow strong.
For those of you who have a daughter in Girl Scouting, take a mo-
ment to think about her leader. Think about how at every meeting the
leader is there to help your daughter experience new challenges and
gain new skills for the future. Think about the amount of time the
leader devotes to preparing for the meetings while balancing family,
job and other time constraints. On April 22, think about all she does and
remember your Girl Scout leader. Write her a note of thanks, or better
yet, if you see her on the street, say, “You’re doing a great job, and we
appreciate it!"
For those of you who are Girl Scout Leaders and other volunteers,
know that we recognize all you do and are truly thankful. You are one of
the keys to helping today’s girls become tomorrow’s leaders. Together,
we can help even more girls grow strong through Girl Scouting.

trict, concerning CRMWA’s pur-
chase of a large block of water
rights in Roberts and Hutchinson
Counties. That water was pur-
chased to mix with Lake
Meredith's less potable drinking
water, which is used to supply
residents of Amarillo, Lubbock
and other cities in the panhandle.
In that review, Mullican pre-
dicted that drawdowns in the
CRMWA well field “would be
greater than the actual saturated
thickness for a significant portion
of the area.” He also suggested
that “water levels will be substan-
tially lowered at the proposed
site, causing several of the wells
to go dry after 50 years at the low-
est proposed pumping rate.”
“Water levels are substan-
tially affected outside of the well
field (up to 16 feet at a distance of
5 miles) and possibly will affect
natural aquifer discharge to the
Canadian River, influencing
downstream water quality,”
Mullican’s study concluded.
Hemphill County water dis-
trict chairman Mark Meek wound
up last Monday's meeting, field-
ing questions about the district’s
immediate plans. The district
shares an office, secretary and
phone number with the Natural
Resources Conservation Service,
located behind the Courthouse,
he said.
To a question from the audi-
ence, Meek said the district has
no plans to hire a manager in the
near future, but added, “That
would change if we had large
transfers of water. Until some-
thing happens, I don’t think we
have any problem.”
Although the district’s rules
and management plan are com-
pleted, Meek said, “there is noth-
ing down on paper as far as water
leaving this district” He assured
the group that with the help of
consultants, “I think we can han-
dle it”
“We’re here to serve you,”
Meek concluded. “Mesa’s pro-
posal has kind’ve built a fire un-
der us. Part of our job is to keep
you informed, and that’s what
we’ve endeavored to do here
tonight.”
In a meeting held earlier Mon-
day afternoon, the water district
board voted to cancel the May 6
election. Three places on the
board were open, and only the
three incumbents filed for those
positions. Meek and Lee
Haygood will each serve another
four-year term, and Eddie Abra-
ham will serve a two-year term.
