CRESTVIEW — Crestview Girl Scouts have additional friends since Valentine's Day.

Nine Scouts and some of their family members delivered Girl Scout Cookies on Valentine's Day, Feb. 14 for over 50 residents of Crestview Manor as part of their continued outreach to elderly residents in our community.

The Scouts  would like to say "Thank You!" to Crestview for buying and donating boxes of cookies during booth sales this year and let them know they were delivered, said a spokesperson.

"The residents were very happy about cookies, as well as seeing the boys and girls.

"We delivered cookies as promised and Valentines as well as sang, made new friends in dining area. One part the residents and children both enjoyed … is when they all saw the tree outside of the manor and decided they must climb —(with) all parents present of course."
