ers and creating bouquets,
10-year-old Brooke O’Con-
nor discovered the joy of visit-
ing with older members of her
First Lutheran Church family.
The visits made her realize
how much they needed social
involvement, and inspired
her to come up with the idea
to spread a little happiness to
shut-ins, and seniors who are
members and friends of her
church, by giving them a box
of Girl Scout cookies.
She applied for, and
received, a grant from the
church’s Endowment Com-
mittee that paid for 65 boxes
of the total Girl Scout cook-
ies she sold. She delivered
a large number of the 65
cookie boxes herself, and was
assisted by the Church Coun-
cil and Care Team members at
the church.
