Christmas comes early in the form of Girl Scout Troop 2008


On Saturday, December 20th, the Pulaski County Humane Society was presented with $250.00 by what seemed like an ocean of bright-pink shirted girl scouts from troop 2008. According to Girl Scout leaders Serena Bennett and Tammy Akers, the 25 girls in troop 2008 did everything from searching under couch cushions for loose change to donating their allowance to asking for funds to donate to the Pulaski County Animal Shelter and Humane Education Center. These young ladies’ hard work certainly paid off. The girls also took advantage of having the shelter to themselves for a few hours and made sure to hug and pet as many cats, dogs, kittens and puppies as they could get their hands on. A large, sincere “thank you” to all the girls and leaders in Girl Scout Troop 2008-a job well done!

What an unselfish thing to do in a sometimes selfish time of year! These ladies truly know the meaning of Christmas!
