Girl Scout Daisy Troop #106 met at Hancock Fabrics on Dec. 11 to pick out fleece to donate to the the St. Cloud Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Family Support program. The girls used a portion of last winter’s cookie sales to buy the fabric. The fabric is then used by parents to make “Tummy Time” blankets at the baby’s bedside in the NICU, which the parents then take home once the baby is ready to leave. Most of the troop is from Sartell. (Front row) Emma Pickett, Elka Sowada, Mckenzie Steiner and Lauren Pederson; (back row) Lucy Conda, Katelyn Noble, Emma Johnson, Amelia Bjerke, Caitlyn Hollenkamp and Chloe Wolford.
