Girl Scout Service Project
Girl Scout Troop 51065 has partnered with Ellanor C. Lawrence Park to raise awareness about the newly opened Woodlands Stewardship Education Center. During the open house on April 28, the troop will have a table where they will showcase crafts made from recyclable materials. The girls will demonstrate how to create bird feeders and wind chimes using toilet paper rolls and tin cans.
To support our Girl Scouts, please consider donating kitchen/toilet paper rolls and tin/soda cans.
Donation boxes have been placed in the Floris lobby (near Door 1) and will be available until Friday, April 26.
