Local Girl Scouts Support US Troops
Submitted April 4, 2003 by Laura Turner
Members of Marble Falls Girl Scout Troop 472 met Thursday afternoon and stuffed
care packages to send to members of our armed forces serving overseas in the
current conflict. The care packages included tissues, wet wipes, gum, koolaid,
candies, spices and seasonings, and a note from the troop.
They're being routed through Operation: MOM, a volunteer group in California that sends comfort items and care packages overseas through approved military channels. For more information on Operation: MOM, you can call 925-706-1736 or log on to Operation Mom.
To help local Girl Scout troops collect and assemble more items to send in next month's shipment, please call Laura Turner at 830-693-4017, or contact any local Girl Scouts that you know. The list of approved items can be found online.
