A huge thank you to the junior Girl Scouts of Troop 60344, who recently helped the Women’s Club of Webster (WCW) make some very special Valentine’s Day cards for some of the club’s elders.
Last Saturday afternoon, six junior Scouts and their leaders (and a few little brothers) joined four WCW members and a handful of other adults at the Webster Public Library to make a dozen Valentine’s Day cards for the club’s legacy members.
Minutes after everyone had gathered in the big study room at the Webster Public Library, the table was filled with construction paper, stickers, markers, crayons, blank greeting cards, glue sticks, scissors and glitter. Then, for the next hour and a half, it was a flurry of cutting, gluing and writing personal messages.
And there were cookies.
While the Girl Scouts focused on making the Valentine’s Day cards, the adults took the opportunity to make some thank you cards for our local troops who are deployed overseas. That effort was in support of the Mail Call: Letters From Home project that’s just ramping up here in Webster.
The goal of the Mail Call initiative is for Webster to write 1,000 cards or letters to our deployed troops, which will be included in care packages which the Blue Star Mothers of Rochester will be sending in June. The project will be hitting its stride in April, so stay tuned for more information about how you can help.
