We have a FLL table to donate! If someone is able to come pick it up from our garage in Menlo Park, we’d be happy to help load it into a truck or onto a car. When we picked it up, we put it on the roof of our Subaru Outback. Please email Leah Wilson at lfletchwilson@gmail.com. Thanks!

Hey everyone, we’re the Cookie Bots, a rookie troop of 5th grade Girl Scouts from Danville.
