A few months ago I was riding the subway train here in Cleveland and two young women were in the seat next to me.  As the train traveled over the Cuyahoga River one of the girls got really excited and began telling her friend about how a few years ago when she was a little girl she had the opportunity to row on that very river in a boat with eight other girls when she attended “camp.” Right away I knew she was a Rosie’s Girl!  She proceeded to tell her friend about all of the things she had the opportunity to do that summer because of Rosie’s Girls – row, learn about solar panels, meet new friends (including girls that did not look like her), and talk to women who had amazing jobs she didn’t even know girls could have such as firefighting or construction work.   I finally asked the young woman if she indeed had attended the Rosie’s Girls camp and she confirmed that she had. She shared with me that she really loved that camp and how much that summer taught her . . . not just about rowing and solar panels, but about herself. That she was strong and that she was capable. She was a Rosie’s Girl. - RG fan
