Send Your Cards and Notes to Our Military Personnel
Our first shipment of 2011 Girl Scout Cookies will be leaving Nassau County in April. Along with the cookies we send to our military men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan, we would like to send them our good wishes, too.
Please deliver your cards and notes to Girl Scouts of Nassau County Service Center by Friday, April 15. We will include them in our shipment of Girl Scout Cookies. Please remember: Handmade cards are the most cherished. Girls should not include last names or other identifying information. Leader can include an email address - so that soldiers can send their thanks.
