| 2009-2010 Union1 Service Projects |
| Note: If your troop (or a girl in your troop) is planning to seek donations at monthly Service Unit Meetings for their Bronze, Silver, or Gold project, a girl and adult representative from your troop will have to come to a Team Meeting and explain your project. With prior approval it can then be presented at a Service Unit Meeting and info will go out in our newsletter. We do not want to overwhelm leaders/troops with requests while at the same time we wish to continue to encourage our girls to participate in community service. If any girl/troop wishes to take on a community service project such as our Easter Basket project, please contact Kim D. |
