Happy Monday!! ?? IT'S GIRL SCOUT WEEK!?? Author | C. Knighten Beginning each year on Girl Scout Sabbath, ending on Girl Scout Saturday, and includes the Girl Scout Birthday, March 12th....this year we celebrate National Girl Scout Week from March 9th - 15th! FACTOID: Juliette Gordon Low got the idea for founding the Girls Scouts in 1911, after she met with Robert Baden-Powell the founder of the Boy Scouts in London! Also known as, Girl Scouts of the United States of America, the Girl Scouts is a youth organization for girls living in the United States. It empowers young girls and helps them to build entrepreneurial, leadership, citizenship skills, and more through community activities and camping outings. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL SCOUTS! On March 12, 1912, Juliette Low organized a meeting of 18 girls, called the Girl Guide Group in Savannah, GA . This would mark the founding of the Girl Scouts of America. While Low, attempted to merge with either the Camp Fire Girls, their founder, Clara Lisetor-Lane, threatened her with a lawsuit for copying her organization! ??IN 1913, Girl Scouts of America shut down because it lacked financial backing. By 1941, the Girl Scouts established the Wing Scout program, which provided a means for senior Girl Scout members to pursue a career in flying and serving their country. This program unfortunately ended in the 1970s, when United Airlines, their main sponsor, suffered financial setbacks. In 1947, they changed their name to Girl Scouts of the United States of America and finally received their congressional charter on March 16, 1950. Today, there are 2.5 million Girl Scouts, composed of 1.7 million girl members and 750,000 adult members across the United States. GREAT WAYS TO CELEBRATE GIRL SCOUT WEEK!! ??Buy Cookies!!

Happy Wednesday!! ?? BENEFITS OF PLANTS?? IN YOUR OFFICE!! Author | C. Knighten As winter passes?? into spring??, North Alabama becomes filled with new blooms and green leaves.....and then everything becomes covered in yellow pollen!?? It coats your car, outdoor furniture, and surprisingly invites itself indoors to coat your floors, window sills and bookshelves .....amongst other items in your home and office! If grew up here, you are quite familiar with this repetitive situation visiting us each year, you already know what to expect....however, if you are new to North Alabama, this may come as an unpleasant surprise. The worse part is if you or a family member suffers from allergies or asthma.....then this can be a very trying environment to live in between the pollen and humidity! This makes managing your indoor environment all the more important, and surprisingly, live plants are quite beneficial. However, you must know which ones to add to your space to reap the benefits of how they 'clean' your air! TWO MUST HAVE INDOOR PLANTS; ?? PEACE LILY ??Removes 78% of airborne mold ??Filters the air of benzene, trichloroethylene, formaldehyde, and ammonia ??Enhances humidity ??Reduces airborne germs that cause allergies ??Relieves itchy, dry noses and throats ??Grows best in shady areas with moist soil ??Can be toxic if eaten by children or pets ENGLISH IVY: ??Removes 78% of airborne mold in 12 hours ??Absorbs mold spores and other airborne toxins ??Alleviates allergy symptoms ??Absorbs and breaks down volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in the air ??A perennial vine that originated in Europe ??Can reach between 6 and 9 inches in height off the ground and spread up to 100 feet Additional options that help, are: Boston Ferns, Snake Plants and Palms. Of these palms are often the easiest to maintain. Keep their soil moist......not soaked and provide bright light that is filtered. I often spritz the leaves of mine with water at least once a week! Have a great day!!?? #deancommercialrealestate #propertymanagement #leasing #investors #investmentland #medical #madison #huntsville
