We write to you today about the current library election candidate, Joanna Stolove. As fellow Girl Scout leaders, mothers in the community and public servants, we can attest to Joanna Stolove’s capability and competence. Our candidate, Joanna, is a Girl Scout Leader, colleague, and public service associate. She has a heart of gold and is always looking to help better our community.

Joanna is not only a leader for our local Great Neck troop, but also volunteers her time at the National Girl Scout level as the Delegate Representative from Great Neck, and also as a Girl Scout Camp consultant. As a Girl Scout Leader, she teaches and empowers 17 fifth-grade girls, including her own daughter, to be confident, courageous, and helps them to build character.

But that’s not all. She is very involved in creating a culture of welcoming at Temple Beth El creating programs which foster inclusiveness and warmth in her religious life. Professionally, Joanna is also a public servant, she is a veteran social worker who works tirelessly to make sure aging adults have access to all of their benefits as well as ensuring their best quality of life.

Joanna’s character can be summed up with one quote from John Wessley, “Do all the good you can for as many people as you can for as long as you can.”

We thought it imperative to share our wholehearted support of Joanna with our community, so everyone who doesn’t already know of her is made aware of the treasure that this town holds. We know for a fact that families and friends cherish her, and so will the Great Neck Library.
