While the Girl Scouts of America's national consolidation process seems to be going forward as planned (with clusters of 4 to 7 local councils being combined into single new ones), the American Lung Association's effort appears to have gone off the rails.
The Chicago Tribune and the Chronicle of Philanthropy reported this week that 7 local ALA chapters (out of 78) have thus far decided to separate from the parent organization rather than be consolidated with others into regional units. The chair-elect of the Chicago chapter says it was a board decision: "We, as a board, believe such a consolidation to be not in the best interest of our lung mission and might undermine our local effectiveness." Of course that means the local group can't keep the name, so they are rebranding themselves as the "Respiratory Health Association of Metropolitan Chicago."
According to the Chronicle, "Last year, 5 of 11 California affiliates of the American Lung Association — in Los Angeles, Monterey, Sacramento, San Francisco, and San Jose — severed their ties with the national association to become Breathe California." (Ouch: LA, San Francisco, Chicago and Silicon Valley adds up to a lot of deep local donors being taken away from the ALA.) Apparently after the California chapters broke off the national board voted to add a new clause to the affiliation agreement that would commit local chapters to leaving behind all land, buildings and so forth in order to leave. The Chicago and New Hampshire local boards have in effect told the national board where they can shove that pre-nup; more of that may be on the way in other states.
The Girl Scouts process, meanwhile, has sparked a series of top level staff changes with some local executive directors changing chairs and some newly-created CEO jobs now open.

Throughout the first 3 days after my solo, I've obtained a'total' out of Chaos Root Abyss drops of 150mil. My average income that is converted was 3bil per day to place this in view, in March. This 150mil (a pitiful 5 percent of this ) is not indicative of a low supply of items that I would have (I bring drop mules into all of my runs, and possess a limitless supply of them ); rather of fast rs gold, it's simply because of the fact that these end game falls are so common that their market resembles that of'perfect competition,' in which the'willingness to accept' for sellers is basically zero because these items don't have any value whatsoever to them.
I obtained zero Superior Engraved Gollux Pendants, and have soloed Hell Gollux 15 times. Instead, according to empirical information, the fall rate of the pendant is approximately 2-3%, buy osrs gold safe which is totally understandable due to the propensity of pay-to-win gamers to take themselves repeatedly in these boss conducts. This reduced percentage yields an output signal of 15-20mil per day, blowing off the coin drops.
I'm guessing the bride to be asked her girls to choose any feeltimes dresses. So you will find loads of styles and textures, however the whole thing seems cohesive. (If you're thinking about borrowing this idea, ModCloth has lots of pretty options!)
Would you place your bridesmaids in mix-and-match lace? As a bridesmaid, will you be cool having a pick-your-own pink rose gold bridesmaid dresses?
