I Can’t Wait to Share………

Share with generationOn

Join generationOn in giving back this holiday season by participating in The Joy Maker Challenge. For each youth who volunteers from November 10^th—December 19^th, Hasbro will donate a toy or game to Toys for Tots.  We know that the Girl Scouts works to help girls become responsible and committed members of their communities. The Joy Maker Challenge provides a free and easy way to engage girls in rewarding community service and doubles the impact of their work!

1.       Visit generationOn microsite (www.generationon.org/joymaker) to sign-up.

2.       Complete a service project (if you are already doing holiday service, simply share the story of the work you’ve already done/have planned to do).

3.       Share your story for a chance to win great prizes, including $1000 grant and $10,000 worth of toys and games to donate locally.

Sharing Our Harvest: Homeless

Troop 377 fed the homeless in Kakaako on November 30th.   Elizabeth, Joy and Fariha played the ukulele and Marisa sang.  All the girls including Hannah and Randi fed the families and ate with them.  Dianna Bowen-Coleman said, “They (people being fed) were so grateful and so overwhelmed with the spirit of the girls towards them. “

 

The troop also collected plastic lids and sorted it for B.E.A.C.H.
