President Bush to Recognize Savannah Woman for Dedication to Volunteer Service

President George W. Bush met Sharon Seng upon arrival in Savannah, Georgia, on Saturday, November 2. Seng has been a part of the Girl Scouts organization as a troop member and leader for 35 years. The Girl Scouts was founded in Savannah, Georgia, in 1912, with a membership of 18 girls.

President George W. Bush will meet Sharon Seng when he arrives in Savannah, Georgia, on Saturday, November 2. Seng has been a part of the Girl Scouts organization as a troop member and leader for 35 years. The Girl Scouts was founded in Savannah, Georgia, in 1912, with a membership of 18 girls.

In his State of the Union address, President Bush called on all Americans to dedicate at least two years over their lifetimes to service to their communities, our country and the world. President Bush is recognizing individuals around the country who are answering the call to service and will recognize Seng as an example of the dedication to service he is hoping to instill in all Americans through his USA Freedom Corps initiative.

For the past 23years, Seng has been a volunteer troop leader for Brownies, Juniors, Cadettes and Seniors troops for girls. Adult volunteers like Seng have made it possible for more than 50 million girls in the United States to participate in the Girl Scouts. In addition to her work with the Girl Scouts, Seng volunteers at her daughterÍs high school and has recently started volunteering with Safe Shelter to help abused women and children.

President Bush created the USA Freedom Corps office at the White House to foster an American culture of service, citizenship and responsibility. Through the USA Freedom Corps, President Bush wants to help every American answer the call to service by strengthening and expanding service opportunities to protect our homeland, support our communities and extend American compassion around the world. Interested volunteers can find information on the USA Freedom Corps at www.usafreedomcorps.gov or by calling 1-877-USA-Corps.
