Woohoo!! Way to go Troop 10265!!

I'm so proud of the girls who worked at our military booth sale Saturday! They all did so well and the public was very generous! 

We raised $400 in donations for the military! That means 80 U.S. soldiers, sailers, etc. will receive a can of nuts or a magazine to show them how much Girl Scouts care about all that they do!! 

This was a great service project and I think everyone who contributed was happy to be involved -- from the girls and moms/dads and the public who donated! So many people seemed impressed that the girls were collecting for such a good cause.

I hope the girls learned that just donating one hour of their time can truly make a difference in someone else's life! It was also great practice in being polite, making eye contact with people and speaking clearly, working with money and making change, etc. The girls were awesome!

Thanks to Natalie Raffin for taking on the fall product sale and to all the moms and dads who helped on Saturday.

AND A HUGE THANK YOU TO THE GIRLS WHO PARTICIPATED!! Please pass along a big congratulations to all of them!

I'm also excited that the girls/moms didn't feel any pressure to sell anything and, instead, could focus on just doing something kind.

Again, there is no pressure to buy anything or sell in the fall product sale. If you do want to order any holiday gifts (candy/nuts, etc.) of course you can still do so until Oct. 29. That's the date we're supposed to turn in all orders. They do make nice gifts for teachers/bus drivers/coaches. Some of the materials we dropped off at your houses involve filling out postcards to family/friends and submitting email addresses. Let us know if you have any questions and thanks again to all who helped!
