So the next time you are sold a box of cookies by an eager youngster, take a moment to reflect. That Girl Scout, as part -ot the largest voluntary sales force in the country, is not in the fund-raising business for Girl Scouts of USA. What she is doing is selling a valuable means to a necessary end. She is earning some of the funds for her own troop’s activi ties which may encompass a wide range of projects. At the same time, she is learn ing intelligent money man agement, its use and the whys of budgets. Each time you take a bite of any one of these quality cookies (Trefoils, Thin Mints, Samoa, Do-sidos, -Van.rhac ^OrgH-mf tlflh and Tag-alongs) you are contributing to a special way of life in our Charlotte community. Proceeds from the Cookie Sale are used to help local girls participate in special Girl Scout oppqr-' tunities, give direct, Ser vices to girls, purchase equipment and property in their behalf and provide for camperships. Every penny earned by these sales re mains in the Girl Scout Council in which it is raised. Enjoy - great cookies for a great cause.
