The little works of art will be installed at the Children’s Hospital of Michigan in Detroit as part of a mural being constructed to help encourage kids going to the emergency ward.

‘Kids helping kids? was this year’s theme for Lake Orion’s Brownie Troop 13354 community service project. The troop is made up of 11 seven-year-olds.
At troop meetings the girls discussed how fortunate they all are to be healthy and able-bodied. To start the project the girls compiled cheery, hand-made Halloween cards to be sent along with treat packages to three kids chosen from www.makeachildsmile.com, a Website listing kids with health issues.
A second part of the community service project was registering to participate in The Torch Relay for Children’s Miracle Network. The relay was on Nov. 1 along the Detroit Riverfront.
The troop’s fundraising efforts raised $1,165 via donations for the 5K walk, surpassing the $250 goal. Funds raised will benefit Beaumont’s Children’s Hospital and Beaumont’s Center for Children’s Rehabilitation.
