Show (letters to the editor y Girl Scout cookies safe Dear Editor: At our request this extra safety precaution of scanning Girl Scout Cookies for foreign objects is taking place at a local Salt Lake City warehouse. These cookies have been previously scanned at Little Brownie Bakery and given a "clean bill of health." The bakery is located in Louisville, Kentucky. Ben Gibson, the director of Girl Scout sales for Little Brownie Bakery, is overseeing this humongous project of checking 55,000 cases of our cookies. The crew to supervise this scanning has been supplied by the bakery. We anticipate it will take three days of 24 hour shifts to scan all the cases. Each case is being labeled with a sticker stating that it has been scanned. No case will leave the warehouse until it has been scanned and found safe. We anticipate a few days delay in our delivery of cookies to cities and towns throughout Utah, but customers can expect Girl Scouts to deliver beginning April 6 to 19. Monitoring by adult Girl Scout volunteers will take place at each Cookie Station in the state. We are working closely with law enforcement agencies, our volunteers volun-teers and staff, for the protection of our product. We have no cookie tampering problems; anticipate no problems but are prepared. As a Girl Scout delivers cookie orders to her customers, we offer the following information. If a box of cookies is damaged and the customer is concerned, take the following steps : 1. Place the box of cookies in a plastic bag with your name, address and phone number. 2. Contact your local law enforcement en-forcement agency. 3. Call the Utah Girl Scout Council Office in Salt Lake City immediately im-mediately - 486-7145 - toll free, 1-800-662-7809. . . . We will replace any damaged box of cookies or refund your $2. Thank you for your support and cooperation. Utah Girl Scout Council |
