We were contacted by Carole at CBC about a service project that we can do right off. CBC has "adopted" Parkview Elementary School in an effort to help their underprivileged students.
The service project we've been asked to do entails small hygiene bags for the students at Parkview.
We are asking you guys to begin collecting items for the bags -- this includes toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, those type items. The Troop will provide the Ziploc bags.
We will begin our collection efforts at the ice cream social/registration night next week. We will also collect items on August 20 (our information/late registration night) and then again on the first meeting night in September.
So start collecting items that we can include in the hygiene bags. If you shop for these items, remember shopping for things gives 1/2 time for service hours so if you shop for an hour, you earn 30 minutes of service.
Let's bless these children that are, by far, less blessed than we are!
Hope to see you guys next week!
Don't forget your favorite ice cream topping!
PS -- Time slipped away from me and I wasn't able to get registration materials out before leaving for vacation. I will be emailing all of that out on Monday. :-)
