our fantastic fall fundraiser.

we have some Brownies that could sell refrigerators to Eskimos!
14 girls sold magazine subscriptions, cds, nuts & candy.
This year the girls only earned patches & prizes for magazine sales, not candy or nut sales. We are buying butterfly patches for all girls who sold nuts or candy, & will get some other neat prizes as well.
Our troop earned $375.40.
Good job, Brownies!
