In the middle of Downtown Los Angeles at Pershing Square visitors can pull on their ice skates and dance on ice. The ice is well maintained with the zamboni resurfacing the ice more frequently than indoor rinks. So be sure you go skate before the ice melts in January.

Girls Going Places Program to Recognize Girls for Entrepreneurship

The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America http://guardianlife.com has announced the launch of the 2005 Girls Going Places Scholarship Program, a national competition that recognizes and rewards entrepreneurial girls between the ages of twelve and eighteen.

Guardian and Girls Going Places will award fifteen girls a total of $30,000 to be used toward furthering their education and supporting their entrepreneurial pursuits. Three top prizes of $10,000, $5,000, and $3,000 and twelve finalist prizes of $1,000 each will be awarded.

Adults are asked to nominate girls (who could be their daughter, niece, neighbor, or student) by submitting a 750- to 1,000-word essay on why the nominee deserves a Girls Going Places award. A panel of judges will review the essays and pick finalists that demonstrate budding entrepreneurship and/or financial acumen; have taken the first steps toward financial independence; make a difference in their school or community; and show potential for future success by initiating a new business. Complete program information and nomination forms are available at the Girls Going Places Web site.

Deadline: February 25, 2005
