Silver Award Volunteers Needed
Eleanor Venditti has almost completed her Silver Award project. She has mobilized volunteers to help make child carriers to support refugees granted asylum in the US. At the end of the month she will travel to Del Rio to deliver the completed carriers and volunteer with the Val Verde Border Humanitarian Coalition. She is asking for assistance from scouts in the service unit to help sew and package the carriers. Eleanor learned to use a sewing machine for this project and basic sewing skills are all that are required. Step by step assistance will be available. There are also non-sewing tasks suitable for younger scouts. The Hive at the Hill Country Galleria is providing space on Saturday, August 10 for a volunteer work day. Please drop in between 1:30 and 6:00 to help out.
