Girl Scout Troop 42002 Raises Money for HRA in a Creative and Helpful Way for People and Animals!

Girl Scout troop 42002 recently raised $400 for the animals at HRA. They did it by hosting a bake sale and a CAR CARE CLINIC! This, I believe, is the first-ever CAR CARE CLINIC hosted in our honor. 
As someone who relies solely on the lights on my dashboard to tell me when to drive in for service, I was blown away by the photo of the girls adding windshield wiper fluid to the proper container under  a car's hood. I had to ask more about the event. 
I learned that one of the troop's  parents taught the girls how to:

- Open a car hood 

- Check for the car model’s recommended tire pressure.

- Check tire pressure and adjust if necessary. 

- Check and top off levels of oil, antifreeze, and windshield washer fluid. 

And then, after the crash car care 101 course, it was totally up to the Brownies to complete the check and service. What a creative way to raise money for the animals and provide a terrific service for car owners, especially now that the weather is getting cooler. My tire pressure light recently started blinking and I did what I always do, I drove to the gas station and paid $5 for someone to put air in the tire. When these young animal lovers become drivers, they won't have to ask anyone to put air in their tires -- they will do it themselves. Thank you Troop 42002 for supporting HRA.

Can't Have a Cat or Dog at Home? You Can Help the Animals at the League

The little black kitten posing with Natalie, Viviana and Juliet is available for adoption.

And, that's exactly want Natalie, Viviana and Juliet did.   They held a very successful bake sale and told customers that all proceeds raised would benefit the cats and dogs at the Washington Animal Rescue League.  But that's not all.  Natalie and Juliet enlisted the  talents of their grandma, "who can make anything," to design and create AWESOME cat toys.  The crocheted  toys quickly became a cat room favorite.  Plus, WARL cats may be the first ones to have what could be the next big toy in the pet trade -- Grandma's Cat Crunchies (the the crocheted poms are filled with plastic bags to give them that crinkly sound. 
This was the caring trio's second recent  trip to the League.  Scroll down the blog, and look for the 4-H donation highlighted on the right side of the page.  The girls were part of the group that came by in March armed with bundles of donations -- including cat comforters and toys designed by the group, a collection of  towels,  food, treats and cash!   Thanks Natalie, Viviana and Juliet.
