Toiletry Drive

My Cadette troop is working on the From Fitness to Fashion IPA. On of the requirements is the have a Toiletry Drive. So we meet today in an area of our town the is rich with Doctor and Dentist offices. I have the girls go in the dentist offices in groups of 2 and 3 (don’t need to overwhelm anyone working there). Here is what they said.

Hi we are from troop 10417 and we are collecting Toiletries for those in need. Do you have any toothbrushes, floss or toothpaste that you would be able to donate?

I first office look at them like they were crazy and said they would need to check and asked for a contact phone number. They looked very disappointed when they walked out. I was starting to think that maybe this wasn’t going to work. Then we hit the next office and the girls came out with a box of toothpaste. Now the excitement was building. Each time they returned with items the girls would gather around and check out what they received. It was just like when you go Trick-or-Treating and you walk away from a house and check out the candy you received.

After about 1 ½ hours walking that street we jumped in the cars and headed over to a street that had three hotels in a row. We hit pay dirt there also. We collect shampoo, lotion, and mouthwash.

All in all it was a very successful day!
