This year Quincy started a service club! Chris told her of a story that he read in the New Era about a group of girls that get together once a month and perform a service for someone. They talked about it and Quincy agreed that it would be fun to get the girls together in our neighborhood and start their own service club. We figured that there were 13 girls from the ages of 9-12. She made invitations and her and Brinley delivered them. They had their first meeting in November. They decorated sugar cookies and made 5 plates of cookies that they delivered to people in our ward. 6 girls came to the first meeting.
In December the girls met and tied 2 fleece blankets that would be donated to a homeless shelter. They did such a great job. It was a little bit hard but they stuck with it and finished both blankets in about an hour. This time 10 girls came!
They have a date in January set up and some fun ideas of projects to do. I think it's turning into a great thing for these girls to do together. I know it makes them feel good to be doing something for someone else! That's a great life lesson to learn!
