RALEIGH COUNTY -

The Girl Scouts of Black Diamond Council are learning that eight Girl Scout Daisies and sons of two Girl Scout families have died as a result of the Sandy Hook shootings. 

According to the group's Facebook page "we are devastated by these losses and will keep the families in our hearts."

Now they are making a plea to folks in our area to lend a helping hand. The Girl Scouts of Connecticut is planning a memorial service with the Newtown Service Unit in mid-January. 

They will be presenting thoughts, prayers, and well-wishes on trefoil art.

If you or anyone  would like to participate, please send these trefoils to the Hartford Service Center, c/o Trefoil Project, 340 Washington St. Hartford, CT 06106.
