Halloween Party Oct. 30 and November calendar

Hi Families,

Just a reminder that this week is our Halloween Party! The festivities start at 6:30 and girls are welcome to wear their costumes. 

November is shaping up to be a busy month! Here is what’s coming up:

November 6 – Remembrance Day meeting. We’ll be making Valentines for Vets and talking about the importance of Remembrance Day. Also of note: Guides are invited to wear their Guiding Uniforms to school on Remembrance Day.

November 13 – Creative Craft night. Tonight we’ll be finishing off the Creative Craft badge. More weaving, bracelet making, a clay project, and whatever else Jen can come up with!

November 20 – Community Service Night. Tonight we will be making scarves out of polar fleece blankets to donate to Shepherds of Good Hope. We will also be doing a food drive. A speaker will also talk to the Guides about the good work the Shepherds of Good Hope does in our community. ** We would love a couple of parent volunteers for this event, willing to bring a good pair of fabric scissors, a measuring tape/stick and seamstress pins to help the girls with the scarves. If you are interest in joining us, please let Jen know.

November 27 – International Day of the Girl (IDG) Challenge. We were planning to do this in October to celebrate the International Day of the Girl, but time slipped away on us! IDG is an opportunity to bring global focus to girls’ rights, the challenges that girls face in their everyday lives and to empower girls to make a positive difference in the world.

Other key dates

December 5: Les Petits Ballet for those Guides who signed up.

December 6: Manotick Christmas Parade – meet at noon (time TBC) and join us on the Girl Guide float! (riding on the float will be optional, more details to follow)

That’s all for now. Happy Halloween!
