Troop 1008 Brings Joy to Wayside Kids

     Girl Scout Troop 1008 of Middletown places a premium on service to others--and they know how to have fun while helping those in need!  Recently, these energetic Girl Scouts spent an evening at the Mission's Hotel Louisville serving dinner, touring the facility, and enjoying the choir.  The following morning, the girls were up bright and early entertaining the kids in our care!  Our visiting Girl Scouts baked and decorated cookies, led the children in a crafts project, brought in stuffed animals, and painted faces!  And while these Girl Scouts served those less fortunate, they learned about  the causes of homelessness, too.  Here are what some of our Girl Scouts had to say about their experience:


Alyssa:  "I really enjoyed working with the kids and you all do a great job here!"


Shala:  "The choir was fantastic and the food was great!"


Kristen:  "Everyone here seems so supportive of each other and the kids here are sweet and fun!"


Michaela:  "Your choir was great.  It's amazing what these people came to achieve."


Toni:  "The mission does incredible work.  It was very fulfilling helping the children brighten their Valentine's Day."
