Here is a little bit of <br /> information about what we did...I have also attached a photo taken by the Girl Scout leader. <br /> Please let me know if you need anything else. Thanks again for your support! <br /> Daisy Girl Scouts and adult volunteers of Girl Scout Troop 55680 worked on October 13 to <br /> rake leaves in Hidden Spring Park, with the goal of preventing the leaves from entering the <br /> lake, which can promote unhealthy algae growth. The first graders and their adult helpers <br /> raked up and disposed of 29 bags of leaves and distributed 45 educational door hangers to <br /> local residents, informing the community about how Girl Scouts is making the world a better <br /> place and inviting them to get involved in the water clean -up program. <br /> This activity was part of a larger event in which Girl Scouts in the Centennial area <br /> participated; the Centennial Day of Service. This was the final activity in a year -long <br /> celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the founding of Girl Scouts. The event took place <br /> across all 49 counties of the Girl Scouts River Valleys service area. It involved over 54,000 <br /> participants and the goal was to prevent leaves and other organic waste from entering the <br /> water, preventing $6 million in water clean -up costs. <br /> All across the cities of Centerville, Circle Pines, Lexington and Lino Lakes, 90 Girl Scouts and <br /> 70 adult volunteers raked and disposed of 458 bags of leaves, marked 58 storm drains, and <br /> distributed 525 educational door hangers in just 2 hours. After their hard work, the girls <br /> celebrated at the picnic shelter at Gethsemane United Methodist Church on Lake Drive. All <br /> of the Girl Scouts earned the Centennial Day of Service patch and learned valuable lessons <br /> about clean water and the role everyone can play in this effort. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Sara Bright <br /> CDOS Coordinator <br /> Centennial Service Unit <br /> This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service. <br /> For more information please visit http: / /www.symanteccloud.com <br /> 10/16/2012 <br />
