Community Service
Girls State and “Blue Star Banner Girls”
American Legion Auxiliary Unit 146 Oceanside Girls State delegates returned from their week with wonderfull stories and lifelong friendships. The week began with meeting so many girls it was a bit overwhelming, but as they were grouped together they quickly fell into common ground.
Two of our delegates, Emma Thomas of Fallbrook High School and Yulanni Osinowo from Oceanside High School were “Blue Star Banner Girls”, a Girls State program for delegates with family members currently serving in the the military. They worked on a presentation and presented it at the closing ceremonies to all the Girls State citizens and faculty.
Our very own Yulanni Osinowo was presented with the Blue Star Banner $1000.00 Scholarship by Past National President of the American Legion Auxiliary and GSAF Board Member Nancy Brown Park.
