There will also be two speakers during the lunch of Gold Award Girl Scout Katie Foster speaking about her award of collecting mixed (caucasian/latino) bone marrow, submitting it to the National Bone Marrow Center, and her story behind why she chose to do that project along with Girl Scout Dr. Cheryl Lambing from Ventura County Medical Center.
