Service Projects
2001: Troop 1071 made St. Patrick's Day placemats for our local Senior Center's St. Patricks Day Party. We made an assembly line and mass produced probably 100 placemats that day. The Senior's were glad to have us help out and we were glad to do it. Hopefully we made their party a success. Great Work girls!!!
2001: Troop 1071 donated $50.00 to the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund. This fund was created in Honor of the GS Founder,Juliette Low, and helps girls all around the globe who cannot financially afford Girl Scouting. I spoke to the girls about this fund, but it was their idea to donate their funds toward this.
2002: Troop 1071 helped with our neighborhood food drive. We helped feed 17 families a full Thanksgiving Dinner as well as some basic household produts and food items. With the help of the rest of hte troops in our neighborhood and local companies we were able to collect items, pack the boxes and deliver them to needy families.
2002: Troop 909 and 1071 went back to our local Senior Center and caroled for them. We helped trim their tree and spent a few moments gettign to know some of the residents.
