💚🤍We are delighted to announce our joint receipt of the Girl Scouts Heart of Michigan Women of Distinction 2024 award, recognizing the enduring influence of Girl Scouts on our personal and professional growth. Our shared journey, spanning from Daisy to Senior Girl Scouts, has fostered the leadership skills, community spirit, and entrepreneurial drive that define us. This distinction, shared with three other outstanding women, is deeply appreciated. We remain dedicated to the principles of Girl Scouts as proud Alum. We had the pleasure of being on the Girl Scout Advantage Podcast and sharing our stories! We loved hosting the podcast in the Edison Parlor and talking about our plans for the future of First & Main. You can check out the Girl Scout Advantage Podcast on Apple and Spotify! 💚🤍

✨The work of today is the history of tomorrow and we are the makers- Juliette Gordon Low ✨

Brittany lives in Lansing with her husband, Scott, and their pets: the Great Dane/Saint Bernard mix Rheo and their cat, Lady. Brittany has always had a special place in her heart for community involvement and giving back. In 2019, while serving as the head caregiver of a before/after school program in Grand Ledge, she decided it was time to pursue her dream business, 1945 Event Co.

This venture allowed Brittany to follow her passion for planning and design, bringing others' visions to life. From Kindergarten until graduation, Brittany was a Girl Scout, and she believes it helped shape her into the woman and entrepreneur she is today. An avid lover of antiques and the TV show I Love Lucy, Brittany enjoys going on adventures and basking in Michigan's natural beauty.

Join us in celebrating the Women of Distinction event on October 9! Along with Brittany, we will be honoring four other incredible women who serve as role models for Girl Scouts, motivating them to dream big. Share this inspiring moment and save a table!💚 www.gshom.org/wod
