Brothers and Sisters,
Please contact Brother Nick Johnson if you are interested in Girl Scout Cookies this year. He can be reached at johnson@blet28.org or (520) 247-6370 this will be going on for the next two weeks.
Remember Gaby, the "Official Photographer" of the last couple of Holiday Parties??.... Well, if you want to support her Girl Scout troop and the many community services they provide us all each year.... why not buy some Girl Scout cookies from her troop. They are still $4.00 a box (no inflation). Got all kinds, Checks can be made to SGSC (Sahuaro Girl Scout Council) or GS Troop #1937. Cookies are here, so you should get them a day or so (if not that day) from when you order.
Thanks,
Gaby
Girl Scout Cookies are a familiar part of American culture. For more than 80 years, Girl Scouts, with the enthusiastic support of their families, have helped ensure the success of local Girl Scout Cookie activities. From its earliest beginnings to its current popularity, the sale of cookies has helped Girl Scouts have fun, develop valuable life skills and make the world a better place by helping to support Girl Scouting in their communities. Girls are proud that their efforts provide resources for their local Girl Scout councils and for their own Girl Scout troops/groups.
All of the proceeds—every penny—from a local council's cookie activities remains in the area where the cookies are sold. This revenue is used to benefit girls, some of it directly by remaining in the Girl Scout troop/group treasury and some of it indirectly by subsidizing the cost of providing the Girl Scout program in the local area.
"Cookie revenue" helps local councils:
- Recruit and train volunteer leaders for each troop/group.
- Provide the financial assistance needed to make Girl Scouting available for all girls.
- Improve and maintain camp and other activity sites.
- Keep event/camp fees for all members to a minimum.
- Sponsor special events and projects.
Thanks.
