Troop Service Projects 2001-2002

November 2001 - In accordance with President Bush's request, we used our dues to send to the Afghanistan Childrens' Fund. We had a long discussion about how children overseas were being affected by the September 11th tragedy and the ensuing war. The girls voted unanimously to send their dues to benefit the children of Afghanistan.

Christmas 2001 - for Christmas we participated in Operation Christmas Child. We set a goal of filling 10 shoe boxes (one for each brownie) and were able to DOUBLE that goal. At our meeting on November 19th, we wrapped, filled and decorated over 20 boxes. It took two whole hours! We are very thankful for our corporate sponsors who made it possible for us to be so generous: Wal-mart, Office Depot, etc.....

Easter 2002 - On Friday March 15th, troop leaders got a special request to fill a basket for Easter dinner for those less fortunate in our immediate community. On Monday, we filled our basket. Our Brownies voted to donate a $20 Kroger gift certificate along with the canned fruits and veggies, rice, pasta, dessert and drink mixes they had donated. We topped off the basket with plastic eggs stuffed with candy and 5 chocolate bunnies. We also made Easter lilies and bunnies which we added to the top. Take a look at the photo page to see how festive our basket turned out!

June 2002 - Our troop did such a great job on cookies sales this year that we were able to make a large cash contribution to Noah's Ark, a local shelter for animals and children. On June 3rd, the girls visited the shelter to present their check for $300!
