Challenger Pioneer Girls

What would you do if you were eating at a Cracker Barrel restaurant and this group came in?
  • (A) Think they must be escapees from the mental hospital
  • (B) Immediately think that the circus must be in town.
  • (C) Decide it must be a sorority initiation.
  • (D) Think the Pioneer Girls have been playing in the clothing bins again.



If you said (D), give yourself 10 points. Every year for the last 10 years the Challenger Group of the Pioneer Girls from Silver Springs, Maryland have been coming to work at ETS. The girls arrive Friday night, work all day Saturday, go out to dinner in various "fashionable outfits" they have put together from our clothing bins. They leave for home Sunday, tired but with lots of work accomplished. We affectionately refer to them as our "cleaning tornadoes!"

This year the girls did a record number of clothing boxes, blankets and shoes. They boxed everything in sight and came up with a whopping number of 170 boxes. ( The most boxes ever done by a group in one day!) Thanks girls for all your help. We always look forward to your visits.
