This past Saturday our 4th grade Junior Girl Scout Troop held a garage sale to raise money for Unicef.. Our girls named the cause &quot;Help for Haiti&quot;. Our girls cleaned out their closet and collected tons of items for this event. They braved the cold, organized and worked the Garage Sale.. They raised over $200.00 and we as a community could not be prouder!!!! This tragedy has touched our Troop in a special and heartfelt way. Many Blessings!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441709438919444345.post-67390382942123661252010-01-27T09:37:15.783-05:002010-01-27T09:37:15.783-05:00As a past leader I am aware of Cadette and Senior troops looking for service hours, so here is a great opportunity for helping hands. Trenton and Whitehorse/Yardville service units and more can pitch in helping sort thru mountains of donations coming in daily. An easy task for older girls.

We are working with the Executive Committee of the board to suspend this policy once again. We will keep you informed of any action. In the meantime, all Girl Scouts councils should work though their local community groups to assist in relief efforts.Joshuahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08639922790767262752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441709438919444345.post-47053247643362223282010-01-17T18:07:47.989-05:002010-01-17T18:07:47.989-05:00Nice post and this fill someone in on helped me alot in my college assignement.

Is there no woman in the US who could do this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441709438919444345.post-17218284019566739812010-01-17T11:23:48.158-05:002010-01-17T11:23:48.158-05:00Our troop was going to help make friendship bracelets to sell and give the money to Doctors without Borders, we are not allowed to. I think that the Girl Scouts should be able to work on a project that raises money for those in Haiti. All of the groups say send money and not items. Please ask the Girl Scouts to waive this rule for this disaster. Thanks-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
