Congratulations Lilli!

Congratulations to Lilly Beaty on earning her Bronze Award! Lilli has worked for many months to complete the requirements and did so with a wonderful project called "Bears Because We Care."

"I know that the bears will make children feel better and make them feel comforted. I like knowing that I can help children in need." ~ Lilli
 
It all began as an effort for a Church mission trip to Oklahoma after the deadly tornados, and led to assisting the Statesville Police Department. These bears are to be used as officers find children in need of comfort. 

There is also a place at First Presbyterian Church where people can go sew bears to take the Police Department once a month. If you are interested in helping, Lilli can direct you on how to do just that!
