Someone in Nanaimo bought a Girl Guide troop91裸聊视频檚 entire stock of cookies simply to donate them to charity.
The Cedar Sparks 91裸聊视频 the youngest level of Girl Guides 91裸聊视频 recently sold 240 boxes of mint cookies for $1,200 to a person who wished to remain anonymous.

Pachkowsky has been a Girl Guide leader for seven years and has never made a sale of that magnitude.
91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檝e had businesses that will take on a case or two and sell them within their business, but I don91裸聊视频檛 think our district, which serves Cedar, Harewood and Chase River, has ever seen anything like this before, because when I notified the board, they were taken aback and overwhelmed,91裸聊视频 she said.
The anonymous buyer didn91裸聊视频檛 want any of the cookies.
91裸聊视频淭hey said they prefer the vanilla cookies, which come out in spring,91裸聊视频 Pachkowsky said. 91裸聊视频淪o, hoping [to sell] more cases come spring.91裸聊视频
The buyer also didn91裸聊视频檛 indicate a charity to support, so the troop chose Loaves and Fishes Community Food Bank. The Cedar Sparks visited the Fry Street warehouse Monday night to drop off the donation and take a tour.

Pachkowsky said she wanted to share the story to express thanks and show the community that good deeds don91裸聊视频檛 go unnoticed.
The Girl Guides91裸聊视频 fall cookie drive is now winding down, but the spring cookie drive is just a few months away, Pachkowsky noted.
