Local Girl Scouts Selling Cookies in January
Photo by Cathy Gee Graney
Beginning January 3, 2011, local Girl Scouts will be selling Girl Scout cookies to their families, friends, and local businesses. As a result of this annual fundraiser, our local scouts benefit with programs, events, and travel opportunities they might not otherwise have. Your support is greatly appreciated.
Cookies are $4.00 per box and come in the same flavors that they did in 2010 (Lemon Chalet Cremes, Trefoils, Do-si-dos, Samoas, Dulce de Leche, Thank U Berry Munch, Tagalongs, and Thin Mints). Cookies are a great gift to give to others or to keep for yourself (they freeze well). Depending on how many boxes each troop sells, they will earn between 55- and 75-cents per box, as well as receiving other prizes. Some troops will also be participating in the Gift of Caring program, which allows customers to buy cookies that will be sent to military personnel or donated to the local food pantry.
If you don�t know a Girl Scout and would like to buy cookies or have any questions about the Gift of Caring program, please contact Joyce Brewer, local Service Unit Manager and Cookie Manager (GirlScoutsHoosick@gmail.com or 518-686-4942).
If you miss this selling season, which ends on January 23, please know that many of our local scouts will be hosting booth sales in the month of March.
Those interested in learning more about volunteer opportunities with the local Girl Scouts or becoming a scout, please contact Joyce Brewer.
