Members of Rusk/Alto Girl Scout Troop 139 had a great Girl Scout Cookie sale and many people outside the troop are benefitting from it as well.

During the sale, the Scouts collected donations of cookies to be given away as a "Gift of Sharing."

When more than 100 boxes of cookies were collected, the girls voted to split the donations between their adopted troop in Iraq and local people in need.

L i b b y B e r r y, M o i r a O'Heaney Debbs and Myles Inglish led the troop's donation collections so they recently visited the Good Samaritan food bank to deliver more than 2 dozen boxes of cookies, which were welcomed with smiles. On hand to accept the cookies were Kay Epperson and Dolly Lofton.
