GSSEF is hoping to find girls who would like to create handmade thank you letters to be given out to those people who have helped GSSEF in any way. The cards should be general Thank You cards that don't say anything specific, so they can be distributed out to anyone regardless of how they have assisted us.  Please feel free to be as creative as you like. Let the girls use funky cut outs, glitter (if you're brave enough), markers, colored papers, etc... to make these cards.  Also please keep in mind that they need to be small enough to fit in an envelope of some sort, so we ask that you don't have them make poster-board cards.  Grab a few different sized envelopes from your junk mail pile and use them as reference for what may or may not work.  Nothing shows appreciation like cards from the girls!  Once the cards are completed or if you have questions, please email Sara Barnett at sbarnett@gssef.org or call my cell at 407-721-1822.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please join Troop 10077 & 20152 as we collect backpacks for the homeless.  We have also expanded the donation to include:
 
 
 
Backpacks, Drawstring backpack, Messinger bag, Sling backs, Duffel bag, Fanny bag, Purse, Hats/caps, Waterbottles, Sleeping bags
 
Thank you, your donation will be distributed throughout the year.
