Girl Scouts to begin booth cookie sales

Starting Feb. 29, Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas will be outside local stores selling Girl Scout Cookies.

This Girl Scout service initiative encourages members of the community to buy packages of Girl Scout Cookies to donate to the U.S. Armed Forces.

The 2008 Project Troop to Troop Cookies will be transported to Fort Hood, the USO, the American Red Cross and ultimately to service men and service women at home and abroad.

Cookies will also reach local Veterans Organizations and wounded soldiers. Go to www.gsnetx.org/cookies/troop2tr oop.stm to donate directly to Project Troop to Troop.

Call 800-882-MINT or email cookies@gsnetx.org for more information about the Girl Scout Cookie Program.
