I have another way that people eager to help children can assist us. I have a group of three 8th grade junior high school students who are eager to get some girl scout uniforms to young girls who attend Banneker Elementary in Chicago. They are collecting uniforms to fulfill their Silver Award Project requirements.
There are approximately 35 girls in the Banneker girl scout troop and each one is in desperate need of a uniform. The age of the girls range from 6 to 13. As Ms. Lee, the Asst. Principal as Banneker says, "the girls have worked extremely hard to earn merit badges but they have nothing to place them on." Let's see if we can give them a bit of help!!
Here's how you can help. If you have a daughter who is no longer in the girl scouts and you are willing to part with the uniform, you can donate it to our cause. I will either pick it up (if you live within 25-30 miles) at a time that is mutually convenient or you can mail it to me. I will gladly pay the mailing cost. Just let me know that you want to send one our way. My email is rich219@comcast.net.
Just another way to help a group of our volunteers willing to step up and assist students in need. What better way for you to pitch in and help!!!
Many thanks,
Dick
