On Saturday our troop participated in a wonderful service project called Make a Difference Day. We aided several hundred people (mostly linked to the military in one way or another) to clean up Turkey Creek Ranch on Ft. Carson. It was a wonderful opportunity for our girls to thank our soldiers, and to learn how great it feels to serve others with our hard work. Alex' mom, Miss Beth told us about the opportunity and got us signed up to work. We owe her a big thanks for serving our country, for sharing Alex with us, and for finding us our first service project.
The day started off cold, and gloomy with winds that were causing the girls to shiver, but soon we were shedding layers of clothing and enjoying a beautiful Colorado blue-sky day. We raked the morning away, filling bag after bag with leaves. The girls were hard workers, and at the end we took a little time to play before bagging up the final piles of leaves.

Hopefully we will have many more opportunities to serve!
