Summer Projects:

Miss Kristy Giovannini is with Girl Scout Troop 296 is working toward her Girl Scout Gold Award. She would really appreciate our help! She is collecting and making lap blankets for the Meals on Wheels Program, along with making small crafts that will be added to the meal trays.

The lap robes are for the people who are visited through Visiting Nurse Service’s Meals on Wheels program. They deliver about 900 meals per day. The lap blankets can be knitted or crocheted and can be about the size of a crib blanket or about 3 ½ feet by 4 feet.

She would like to submit her finished proposal to Girl Scout Council in September.

If there are any questions please contact Kristy at MrsStar26ATrochesterDOTrrDOTcom (please replace AT with @ and DOT with .).

Thank you for contributing to this project!
