Super kudos, not just regular ones, to Rachel Goodgal (who, by the way, IS a good gal), for her knitting related Girl Scouts Gold Award. She's a local girl, from Wyckoff, NJ, who's project was to generate lots of knitted caps and blankets for Valley Hospital newborns and at the same time, encourage her local community members to knit as a relaxing and productive hobby. She taught Brownies and Jr. Girl Scouts to knit (and some have continued meeting with a knitting group that meets at a local library) and she led a workshop of senior citizens at the Christian Health Care Center, inWyckoff. She had meetings with both groups for several months. As a result, over 90 caps and blankets were created for the preemies.
Rachel was valedictorian of Ramapo High School in 2009 and a National AP and Merit Scholar.
I don't know her personally, but she sounds like a delightful young woman.
