A Better World Inspired By U…

A better world inspired by you! The Sahuaro Girl Scout Council has challenged girls to reach out into their communities and inspire; they need your help!  On behalf of over 13,000 Girl Scouts in Southern Arizona, we are asking you to please consider participating in our Troop to Troop program by donating a case of cookies (or more!) to our military troops overseas.

Troop to Troop is a unique program where Girl Scouts and our community come together to bring a little taste of home to our military troops overseas. By partnering with a non-profit organization, Operation Gratitude, Sahuaro Girl Scout Council has delivered thousands of cookies from Southern Arizona to military troops stationed all around the world!  With your help we are hoping to once again send thousands of boxes to our brave military troops stationed overseas. By contributing as little as $48 your business can send 12 boxes of cookies overseas; a truly small price to pay to bring a little comfort to our troops.

To contribute to the Troop to Troop Program please complete and return the attached order form by March 10, 2010.  Your tax deductible donation is of tremendous value to the Girl Scouts in Southern Arizona and your cookie donation will certainly brighten the faces of military men and women serving our country.  For additional information please contact Kim Maine at (520)319-3148 or kmaine@sahuarogsc.org.

PS—Our goal is to ship 15,000 boxes to our troops. As of today we only have 4,000 ready to go!

Tucson Audubon’s Young Birders Club Field Trip

January 30 — Saturday, 7:15am

The club is designed for children ages 8 to 18. All kids in this age group with an interest in birds are invited to join in the trip. This trip will be a half-day of birding in local Tucson parks and birding hotspots. We’ll look for wintering species both common and rare, with emphasis on finding rarities that have been reported recently. We will end the trip at Reid Park with a lunch meeting in one of the ramadas. Contact the leaders for more info.

Do you like GREEN Cookies?

We do! With our new Cookies on Demand program girls have cookies with them starting from Day 1 of the sale! This means we are lowering our carbon footprint by reducing trips to each customer and reducing the paperwork involved in taking pre-orders! And, did you know that you can recycle almost all of the cookie packaging? You can recycle everything but the plastic cookie sleeve! Proceeds from the cookie sale will help girls Take Action and continue to “Green” our community!
