Do you have questions about GIRL? Are you or your friends interested in GIRL, but you don't know how to explain the point of the club to them? Now you can! Below are some frequently asked questions about GIRL, followed by a brief explanation. All of the questions were answered by Monika Bough, the president and founder of GIRL.
In the club we send out an activity e-mail. You can do as many activities as you'd like and the more you do the more points you receive. The activities are different and range in difficulty from making up silly dog names to composing your own New Year's letter! The one with the most points at the end of each round receives a prize.
In Monika's GIRL page, you can see a list of most of the girls in the club. The list is called our Address List. When someone new enters the club they get put on the list. Members can choose who to write to. Basically what the list does is gather a list of addresses of girls ages 8 to 14. We have a member who sends out a Welcome Letter to the new members and usually members will write you if they are your age.
We don't really have a "committee". What we do have are certain members with jobs. They assist me in the address list, activity list, newsletter, etc. We even have a member who keeps track of Star's E-Mail Addresses! When a new job is available it's offered to the whole club, the first to ask me about it gets the job. Sometimes, if it's a really important job they have to write a paragraph saying why they should get the job.
Yes, we do have girls from all around the world. Australia, Germany, Canada... almost everywhere! I don't have a list of where everyone is from, but I'm sure when you write to the members they will tell you.
Every member has the Internet. GIRL is an Internet-based club.
