Brownie Troop 436,
which meets Tuesday
afternoons at 5 at the
Centermoreland United
Methodist Church, isn’t a
very big troop as mem-
berships go, but its 14
members did a terrific job
of selling Girl Scout
cookies this year during
the cookie drive that
ended on Friday.
The Centermoreland
Brownies number just 14
but they turned in a
Herculanean effort in the
cookie sale when they sold
a total of 900 boxes of the
goodies. Mrs. Emily
Considine, Brownie scout
leader at Cen-
termoreland, and her
assistant Mrs. Diane
Dymond, were very
pleased with the
Brownies’ efforts and
expressed thanks and
appreciation on behalf of
the scouts for the splendid
support given the scouts
during the sale.
All of the Brownies will
get a patch for their
brownie jackets. Others,
who sold above the
required number in each
category, will get ad-
ditional prizes such as a
back pack and T-shirts.
Top sales scout of
cookies in this year’s
cookie sale at Cen-
termoreland was Miss
Rhonda Wall, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Donald
Miller, who sold a total of
172 boxes. Other top
salesmen, those, who sold
100 boxes, were Laurel
DeLong, with 138 boxes;
Brooke Anderson, 107,
and Heather Schoonover,
who sold 102 boxes of the
goodies.
Other Brownies, who
turned in excellent sales
of cookies, were Theresa
Dymond, Maureen
Barbara Winters, Nicki
Cheskiewicz, Marissa
Rae. Kristin Davis, Jami
Apaliski, Mindy
Alexander and Christy
Alexander.
Registration was very
brisk during the last hour
of the Red Cross Blood-
mobile, Friday, Feb. 4, at
Dallas United Methodist
Church, as people came
from work to donate their
pint of blood.. In all 264
people registered, ‘‘the
best we've had yet, and it
keeps on growing’, said
Jeff Townsend, co-
Designer
cutting,
perming,
coloring
to bring
out the
O
chairman of the Blood
Council. This was the first
anniversary collection of
the Back Mountain Blood
Council. Paul Hodges,
director of donor re-
sources development at
the Red Cross, Hanover
Township, who resides in
the Back Mountain
started Blood Councils
just over a year ago.
There are now six
councils operating in both
rural and city areas in
Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania, with 14 more being
bloodmobiles directly to
communities with
community-minded pe-
ople showing by their
efforts that they really
care. Neighbor helping
neighbor is what it's all
about”, he said.
Council sponsors five
collections each year at
about 10 weekly intervals
and helps in collection at
the Dallas High School.
College Misericordia and
Offset Paperback. Last
year they averaged over
200 units each time, al-
though the increasing
need will cause an in-
crease this year to around
240 units.' “The year got
off to a good start”, said
Jean Hopa, | council
member, ‘250 units were
collected, but we cannot
afford to be too satisfied.”
The need for blood in-
creases rapidly due to
many factors. The aging
population of the area,
greater advances in
medical research and
better treatment of those
who might otherwise die.
One of the largest user
C
groups is cancer patients-
many of whom are now
treated in this area.
One factor emerged
from the Feb. 4 Blood-
mobile. There was a
serious shortage of caller
teams and a need for
more members of the
community to volunteer
to help. Volunteer calling
is not an onerous task, as
it only involves call ing a
list of 25 names -
telephone numbers are
provided. Nearly all those
who are called have
donated before and many
of them are ‘regulars’.
For this collection, a
small number of people
had to do a greater part of
the calling and that places
the burden unfairly. Our
thanks to those teams who
participated, St. Frances
Cabrini Church, St.
Frances Cabrini Sunday
School, Dallas United
Methodist Church and
Back Mountain Jay-C-
ettes. A special vote of
thanks to the Trinity
Presbyterian Church who
stepped in at short notice
when some teams were
unable to help. Almost 500
calls were made by just
three volunteers. Thank
you all and a plea to other
organizations
