Brownie pillow pals

Monroe Brownie Troop 301 recently stitched and stuffed 30 travel pillows to send to armed forces personnel overseas. The girls earned their “Stitching It Together” try-it for their efforts. This project was spearheaded by Kathy Aldinger, a Pine Tree Elementary teacher, to help soldiers overseas have a small comfort from home. Showing their creations are, in the back row and from the left: Ariana Fitzgibbon, Olivia Joosten, Samantha Finlay, Elizabeth Doty, Gillian Gralton, Molly Schiller, Olivia Peano and Courtney Furbeck. Front row, from the left: Emma Horton, Marissa Napolitano, Amy Kyle, Lauren Lopez, Sarah Vella and Anna Fajardo.
