Arvada Brownie Troop 2061 Gives to ASR's Back Pack Program

On Tuesday, May 4th, Arvada Sunrise Rotary was delighted to welcome Arvada Brownie Troop 2061 Leader Lisa Brazeau as well as their cookie sales leader, Emily Brazeau. The Brownie Troop presented Arvada Sunrise Rotary President Bob Bell with a check to be used towards the Club's Backpack Program at Swanson Elementary School. The Backpack program feeds many students over the weekend, helping to keep those kids healthier and focused on learning.

Troop 2061 is compromised of eleven third grade girls from Westwood's and Meiklejohn Elementary Schools. These girls have, quite literally, grown up together. Two of the girls have been in the Troop since Kindergarten. A big ceremony is right around the corner for them, all eleven girls will bridge over to Junior Girl Scouts this month.

The Troop has been active in other community activities as well. A few weeks back, they went to Build-A-Bear Workshop, where each girl made a bear to donate to Children's Hospital. The event was a great success and yielded a number of newly created bears for the hospital to distribute.

The Arvada Sunrise Rotary is compromised of nearly 40 charitably minded individuals who volunteer their time and resources in making their local and international community's a better place to live.
