Girl Scouts Share Halloween Spirit With Memory Care Community

GLENVIEW, IL — Girl Scouts from Troop 45521 brought Halloween Saturday to Emerald Place, an Anthem Memory Care community in Glenview. The girls shared 30 hand-painted pumpkins to the delight of the residents, according to a news release.

“Our residents enjoyed the opportunity to reminisce about Halloween and decorating their homes for the Fall season,” said Allison Rackow, community relations director. “It brought them so much joy to be able to see and hold the pumpkins that the girls created just for them.”

Emerald Place is located at 1879 Chestnut Ave.
