GOOD MORNING MADAM SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS
I RISE TODAY TO PRESENT ACR ONE
SIXTY FIVE WHICH WILL PROCLAIM
THE WEEK OF MARCH EIGHTEENTH TO
MARCH TWENTY FOURTH TWO THOUSAND
EIGHTEEN. AS CALIFORNIA DOWN
SYNDROME AWARENESS WEEK
AND DESIGNATE MARCH TWENTY FIRST
TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN AS
CALIFORNIA DOWN SYNDROME DAY.
AS THE MOST COMMONLY OCCURRING
CHROMOSOMAL CONDITION IN THE U.
S.
DOWN SYNDROME AFFECTS ABOUT ONE
OF EVERY SEVEN HUNDRED BIRTHS
NEARLY SIX THOUSAND BABIES EACH
YEAR.
DOWN SYNDROME OCCURS WHEN AN
INDIVIDUAL HAS A FULL OR PARTIAL
EXTRA COPY OF CHROMOSOME TWENTY
ONE.
THIS ADDITIONAL GENETIC MATERIAL
ALTERS THE COURSE OF DEVELOPMENT
AND CAUSES THE CHARACTERISTICS
ASSOCIATED WITH DOWN SYNDROME.
DOWN SYNDROME INCREASES THE RISK
FOR CERTAIN MEDICAL CONDITIONS
SUCH AS CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE
ARE DEFECTS RESPIRATORY AND
HEARING PROBLEMS. AND
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
HOWEVER SINCE MANY OF THESE
CONDITIONS ARE TREATABLE THEY DO
NOT GREATLY DIMINISH THE QUALITY
OF LIFE OF INDIVIDUALS WITH DOWN
SYNDROME.
PEOPLE WITH DOWN SYNDROME ALSO
EXPERIENCE COGNITIVE DELAYS BUT
THE EFFECTS ARE USUALLY MILD TO
MODERATE AND ARE NOT INDICATIVE
OF THE MANY STRENGTHS AND
TALENTS THAT EACH INDIVIDUAL
POSSESSES. FOR INSTANCE MANY
INDIVIDUALS WITH DOWN SYNDROME
HAVE OVERCOME NUMEROUS OBSTACLES
TO ACHIEVE GREATNESS SUCH AS
FASHION DESIGNERS PUBLIC
SERVANTS AND ATHLETES INCLUDING
KIM CHANDLER WHO DESPITE MANY.
BEING UNABLE TO EXECUTE SIMPLE
MUSCLE MANEUVERS AS A CHILD
BECAME A FOUR TIME NATIONAL
CHAMPION AT THE SPECIAL
OLYMPICS.
ACCESS TO QUALITY EDUCATION
PROGRAMS AND HEALTHCARE AND A
STIMULATING HOME ENVIRONMENT AND
A POSITIVE SUPPORT FROM FAMILY
FRIENDS AND COMMUNITY IN ABLE
THOSE WITH DOWN SYNDROME TO LEAD
FULFILLING AND PRODUCTIVE LIVES.
THIS PRODUCTIVITY INCLUDES BUT
IS NOT LIMITED TO ATTENDING
SCHOOL WORKING VOTING ADVOCATING
FOR THE WELL BEING OF THEIR
COMMUNITIES AND CONTRIBUTING TO
THE SOCIETY IN MANY MANY
WONDERFUL WAYS.
THIS RESOLUTION WILL BRING MUCH
NEEDED A PUBLIC AWARENESS TO
DOWN SYNDROME BY ENCOURAGING THE
ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES AND
ADVOCACY TO SUPPORT THE DOWN
SYNDROME COMMUNITY. I ASK HER
FIRST ROLE TO BE OPEN TO CO
AUTHORS AND RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR AYE VOTE.

THE ONE HUNDRED SIXTH
ANNIVERSARY OF GIRL SCOUTS OF
AMERICA. BACK IN NINETEEN TWELVE
THE FIRST GIRL SCOUT MEETING WAS
HELD IN SAVANNAH GEORGIA AND WAS
LED BY JULIETTE GORDON LOW WHO
FOUNDED THE GIRL SCOUTS OF
AMERICA. THEIR OBJECTIVE HAS
ALWAYS BEEN TO BUILD GIRLS OF
COURAGE CONFIDENCE AND CHARACTER
WHO MAKE A BETTER WORLD FOR
EVERYONE
AND THEY DO THAT BY CREATING A.
WONDERFUL SISTERHOOD OF
COURAGEOUS AND CONFIDENT WOMEN
THROUGHOUT THE NATION AND THE
WORLD.
GIRLS THROUGH THE GIRL SCOUTS OF
AMERICA LEARNED THAT THERE IS NO
LIMIT TO THEIR SUCCESS OR WHAT
THEY CAN ACCOMPLISH. AND I THINK
MANY OF US HAVE EXPERIENCED THAT
CERTAINLY IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS
IF YOU'VE BEEN EATING ANY GIRL
SCOUT COOKIES. WEED FORMER TALK
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE GIRL
SCOUT COOKIES IT'S IMPORTANT TO
REMEMBER JUST HOW EXTENSIVE AND
BROUGHT THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN OUR
COUNTRY HAS BEEN. SINCE THAT
FIRST MEETING IN SAVANNAH
GEORGIA MORE THAN FIFTY NINE
MILLION GIRLS HAVE PARTICIPATED
IN THE GIRL SCOUT MOVEMENT
DURING THEIR CHILDHOOD. AND THAT
NUMBER CONTINUES TO GROW AS THE
GIRL SCOUT OF THE MET AMERICA
CONTINUES TO INSPIRE AND INVITE
NEW MEMBERS. THERE ARE CURRENTLY
TWO POINT SEVEN MILLION GIRL
SCOUTS ONE POINT NINE GIRL
MEMBERS AND EIGHT HUNDRED
THOUSAND ADULT MEMBERS WHO.
ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY WORK AS
VOLUNTEERS AT CAMPS THROUGH
THEIR GIRL SCOUT TROOPS ALL
ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THROUGH
MEMBERSHIP IN THE WORLD
ASSOCIATION OF GIRL SCOUT GUIDES
WHICH I ENCOURAGE YOU TO FIND
OUT MORE ABOUT AND GIRL SCOUTS
OF AMERICA IS PART OF A
WORLDWIDE FAMILY OF TEN MILLION
GIRLS AND WOMEN IN THE HUNDRED
AND FORTY SIX COUNTRIES.
SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT OF THE
WOMEN CURRENTLY IN THE UNITED
STATES SENATE
SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT.
AND MORE THAN HALF OF THE EIGHTY
EIGHT WOMEN IN THE UNITED STATES
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES WERE
GIRL SCOUTS WHEN THEY WERE
CHILDREN. FIFTY FIVE PERCENT OF
ALL WOMEN ASTRONAUTS ARE FORMER
GIRL SCOUTS.
AND GIRL SCOUTS HAVE FLOWN IN
OVER ONE THIRD OF ALL SPACE
SHUTTLE MISSIONS.
AND AN ESTIMATED EIGHTY PERCENT
OF WOMEN WHO ARE BUSINESS
EXECUTIVES AND BUSINESS OWNERS
IN AMERICA WERE GIRL SCOUTS.
I GOT ONE MORE STATISTIC FLOREA
SIXTY FOUR PERCENT OF TODAY'S
FEMALE LEADERS WHO ARE LISTED IN
THE WHO'S WHO OF AMERICAN WOMEN
IN THE UNITED STATES WERE ONCE
GIRL SCOUTS.
AS AN ARCHERY INSTRUCTOR A GIRL
SCOUT CAMP A DIABLO DAY CAMP IN
THE SAN RAMON VALLEY AREA OF
THIS IS A DAY CAMP THE GOES
THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER. AND YOU
CAN SEE THE GIRLS OF ALL AGES
WORKING TOGETHER THEIR SCHOOL
LEADERS WHO ARE IN CHARGE OF THE
ORGANIZATION'S ACTIVITIES FOR
THE DAY THE GIRLS DO THE
PLANNING THEY DO THE EXECUTION.
AND THEY MAKE A GREAT EXPERIENCE
FOR GIRLS ALL ACROSS THE
COMMUNITY AND.
I PARTICULARLY LOVE TO BE ON
THE RANGE WHERE THEY THEY START
THE WEEK OFF.
KIND OF EXCITED ABOUT THE
ACTIVITY AND FRUSTRATED THAT
THEY CAN'T QUITE GET A A TARGET
IN THE BULLS EYE BUT BY THE END
OF THE WEEK WITH PERSISTENCE IN
WORK YOU SEE THEIR CONFIDENCE
BUILD. AND THEY HIT THE POLLS I
ON THE TARGET IN ARCHERY AND
THEY LOVE IT THAT'S ONE OF THE
WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT GIRL
SCOUTS OF AMERICA. ENDS.
IF YOU HAVE HAD SOME OF YOUR
COLLEAGUES SHARE WITH YOU SOME
GIRL SCOUT COOKIES.
THOSE FIRST CAME TO BE IN
NINETEEN SEVENTEEN AND THEY WERE
BATES AND HOME OVENS BY
INDIVIDUAL GIRL SCOUT FAMILIES
IT WAS UNTIL THE FIFTIES THEY
REALLY STARTED TO HAVE THE THIN
MINTS IN THE SANDWICH COOKIES.
AND OTHER SHORT BREATHS IT HELPS
BUILD ENTREPRENEURSHIP SKILLS
BUSINESS SKILLS LEADERSHIPAND
COMMUNICATION SKILLS FOR GIRL
SCOUTS AND PARTICULARLY A SHOUT
OUT TO TWO MORE GROUPS AND THAT
IS THE MOMS AND THE PARENTS.
WHO LEAD GIRL SCOUT TROOPS THESE
ARE OTHER ADULTS WHO WERE
HELPING OTHER PEOPLE'S CHILDREN
BECOME BETTER CITIZENS AND
BETTER MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY
AND THEY DO THAT? WITHOUT A LOT
OF EXTRA TIME ON THEIR HANDS AND
A SPECIAL SHOUT OUT TO THE
PARENTS WHO DID NOT SELL THE
COOKIES FOR THEIR DAUGHTERS. BUT
ALLOW THEIR DAUGHTERS TO COME
AND ASK US AND LEARN HOW TO
BUILD CLIENTS AND RUN A
BUSINESS.
