Through the end of this month, the girls will be collecting all sorts of items for C2C that fit the organization’s motto. Collection boxes decorated by the troop can be found at Center and Hale schools and at the Post Office, according to Brownie Leader Alicia Kerr, who heads up the troop of third graders with fellow leader Helen Shaw.

Neil Joyce.
