One of the over 600 volunteers removes two cases of Thin Mints from one of the 36 semi-trailers that were each filled with 77,000 cases.

177 boxes of assorted Girl Scout cookies fill a van that will be delivering cookies to Troop #660 Brownies. 1,000 Girl Scout Troops picked up their pre-sold cookies.

Each case holds 12 boxes, a total of 924,000 boxes filled with cookies, were distributed to over 1,500 vehicles in one day.

Helen Whitelaw, Director of Sales and manager of today's cookie distribution rides in a golf cart with Bob Carlson, owner of Carlson Logistics, supplied the 36 semi-trailers filled with the case of cookies.

Over $3 million worth of cookies were picked up.

Anne Lauzier, of Ventura, has worked for the Girl Scouts cookie baker over 25 years. She directed the many vehicles that arrived to load up with the cookies. She will be doiing the same thing in Modesta this week.

American Red Cross, Sacramento-Sierra Red Cross volunteers Kathy Quinn, Bob Maher and Donna Oien serve food and drinks to the Girl Scout volunteers. The Girl Scouts bought food and Red Cross prepared lunches using the chapter's mass feeding portable kitchen.

Two of the dozen Americorp volunteers that partnered with the Red Cross grilled hamburgers and hotdogs.

The money earned from Girl Scout Cookie sales fund the Girl Scout programs that build girls of courage, confidence and character.
