Apalachin Community Press, December 1999
 
Brownie Troop #45 of Apalachin hopes to make the holidays happier for some of the less fortunate children in our area. The troop teamed up with St. Paul's Church in Owego to collect over 60 dolls for a holiday makeover. The dolls were washed, had their hair fixed, and were dressed up. The dolls will be given to the Open Door Mission for their annual Christmas party. The girls had a great time with the project and were happy that they were able to help others.
