March 10, 2010 JOHNS CREEK - The Girl Scout Cadet Troop 3110 had a recession meeting with Johns Creek Mayor Mike Bodker. He answered several questions concerning the recession in the community and how small businesses have been affected by the economy crisis.
They also discussed about the demand for the food pantry at North Fulton Charities and how they have been collecting food for the needy.
The troop's project for their Silver Award was "Feed the Hunger." The Silver Award project consisted of 40 hours of service hours in which the girls collected food, served food and worked at the food pantry packing shelves and sending out orders. For the past five years the girls "carol for cans" every holiday season and join hands with younger troops in their Two Bridges Service Unit to accomplish their goal of collecting more than 1,000 cans. Each troop went door-to-door singing holiday songs for about 50 homes in the Medlock Bridge neighborhood. Cadet Troop 3110 dropped off bags at each house in advance to be used to transport cans. All the cans were donated to the North Fulton Community Charities.
Troop 3110 is willing to help other troops in any way possible to serve their community and help the needy. For more information, contact Mayuri Mulji at mayubfit@bellsouth.net or Santhi Prabahar at psanthi@hotmail.com for further assistance regarding Girl Scout service projects.
