So, every year since I think I started blogging, I have blogged about the woes, and sometimes the highs, of the Girl Scout cookie selling process, all the while, really hoping that someone will jump up, feel the strong pull of the spirit of giving, and contact me asking to help out. I fully expect to share a woe filled post later, as I am again being the cookie mom for my brand new troop, of all most all new kids and parents who are scared to death of selling cookies. However, I'm not here to cry, yet. I'm here to get rid of the thin veil usually covering my plea, and just come right out and beg.
If anyone who reads this would like to help out our troop, I have a great, tax deductible way to do so. This year, brand new to our Council, is a program called Building A Mountain of Hope. It is a long and rather confusing name for a program that is really pretty great, and simple. You can purchase a box of cookies that we will donate to the Tennessee National Guard. The Guard can then send them to their troops who are deployed over seas or use them for Disaster Relief, etc. I think it is awesome, and nearly as great as Operation Thin Mint back in San Diego. Nearly.
Anyway, if anyone would like to support my troop, and Girl Scouts in general, while getting a nifty little tax deduction, please, please (see the begging) contact me. Along with your tax receipt, I'll send you a very nifty little thank you note hand made by one of The Big Girls!
Thanks for at least reading this, and hopefully thinking about it.
