"The experience of a lifetime!" No matter what other words you hear when speaking to former participants in Colorado Columbine Girls State, it always seems to boil down to one point - there's nothing else like it!

Colorado Columbine Girls State is a program of the American Legion Auxiliary, Department of Colorado. With a history dating back more than 50 years, the program is a hands-on training session in local and state government, voting, the legislative process, patriotism and the rights and duties of all citizens of the United States.

Girls State programs are one week long and are held during the summer at college campuses in all 50 states. Colorado Columbine Girls State is held at Western State College in Gunnison. Dates for the next session in Colorado are June 14-19, 2009.

Girls State is AMAZING! I was a delegate in 2007 and am now attending MIT in Boston, much to the skills I learned at Girls State. One thing Rochelle didn't mention was the power that every girl feels when they leave, the power to change the world! The support from the organization is also incredible during and after the program. Columbine is in the title because it is the Colorado state flower, for example, Kansas Sunflower Girls State is another program. I would encourage EVERY JUNIOR to apply! You will not regret this week of wonder!

"Be Prepared" is Good Motto for Storm Coverage
Over in the KKTV 11 Weather Center, the radar's showing the snow moving in. Chief Meteorologist Brian Bledsoe says this storm has the potential to bring the most snow we've seen in 5 and 1/2 years, so it is "all hands on deck" and "batten down the hatches", as the newsroom makes its own preparations for this Groundhog Day Storm.
