Emily's Girl Scout meeting tonight was a ceremony of sorts, actually what they call a re-dedication ceremony in which the girls re-dedicate themselves to being a Girl Scout.
Emily received a few badges to add to her already impressive collection, as well as the following letter:
Dear Emily,
I was so happy to hear from your leaders about your recent community service projects. I understand that you donated food to the local Council On Aging food drive. I am sure that you heard that our country is facing a hunger crisis and many, many people go to sleep nightly with empty stomachs. Your help at the Council On Aging Food Drive, as well as your food donations, have really helped to address the issue of hunger in your community. I also heard that you donated scarves that you made and picked the names of two sisters and donated an outfit to each of them for Christmas. In addition, I understand that you just packed items to be sent to the troops in Iraq, along with donated packages of Girl Scout Cookies from your direct sells. Part of your cookie profits will be going to a local charity as well. You have been a busy, busy, Girl Scout. Not only have you helped the people of Middleboro, you have helped contribute to the good name of Girl Scouting. On behalf of all of us here at the Girl Scout Council OF Southeastern Massachusetts, I am sending you a "Making Community Ties" certificate as our way of letting you know how pleased and proud of you we all are. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed. I look forward to hearing about more community service projects from your troop in the future! Kudos to you for a job well done!
Isn't that nice? Her troop is very active in the community and I think it's wonderful!
