  
The Brownies of Troop 789 donated wish list items to
patients at Shriner’s Hospital for Children.
With proceeds raised through the cookie sale, the girls purchased school
supplies, books, and a tablet computer for use by the hospital’s pediatric
patients. They were even given the
opportunity to tour the factory where the hospital creates the custom
artificial arms and legs for its patients.

The
Juniors of Troop 009 donated wish list items to patients at Shriner’s
Hospital for Children. With proceeds
raised through the cookie sale, the girls purchased toothbrushes, toothpaste,
coloring books, crayons, movies, and snacks.
This project was one from the heart as a troop member found herself
needing to be cared for by the nurses and doctors at Shriner’s as an infant.

 “This
past weekend I was at the post office when the lady behind the counter
stopped me and asked if I was the “Girl Scout lady”. Her purpose in asking is
that she wanted to thank the Girl Scouts for the coloring books and crayons
that were donated to the emergency room at North Hawaii Community Hospital.
Her son was a patient there recently and was so appreciative to have
something to do and keep his mind off his injury while waiting to be seen by
the doctor. I told her the items were donated by troop 928 in Waikoloa. Elise Wehr, along with troop leader Fran Harman,
used the troop cookie proceeds to purchase and deliver the goodies to the
hospital.”
