Nov. 20 - Scarf and food drive for Shepherd's of Good Hope
Hi Families,
First please let me take a moment to tell you how awesome you are! We made EIGHT boxes for Operation Christmas Child last week, and our goal was four. THANK YOU!! The Guides seemed to really enjoy making up the packages for children in need.
Also, we got a bit behind on the creative craft badge work. We will pick up where we left off at our Nov. 27th meeting and push our work on the International Day of the Girl challenge to December 4.
This week (Nov. 20), a representative from the Shepherds of Good Hope mission will meet with the Guides to tell us a bit about what they do. We will also be collecting canned food items for the organization, as well as making scarves out of polar fleece to donate. If you have a pair of fabric scissors that we could borrow for the evening we would really appreciate it. Any non-perishable food items would also be very welcome.
Coming up: December 6 Manotick Christmas parade. If you Guide is interested in being part of the Girl Guide parade float please let Jen or Lisa know.
Yours in Guiding,
Jen, Lisa and Alice

November 13 and November 20 meetings - Working in Our Community
Hi Families,
While we continue to work on various badges over the next few weeks, we will also be taking some time to focus on giving back to the community and charitable work. Last week we took time to thank our Veterans. This week, in addition to working on our creative craft badge we are hoping to fill 2 or 3 shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. Next week we will be talking with representatives from Shepherds of Good Hope, making scarves for those in need this winter and collecting canned food items.
Operation Christmas Child (November 13): This week, we are wondering if the girls would be able to bring in some small gifts (e.g. dollar store items) to fill shoeboxes for children in countries such as Haiti, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Chile, Senegal, Guinea or Ukraine. Items can include: school supplies, books, stuffies, small musical items, hair clips, clothing, hygiene items such as combs, toothbrushes, washcloths and soap and/or candy for a girl aged 10 to 14. We would also welcome cash donations (a loonie or two would be great) to help with the $7 shipping fee for each box. The girls will fill boxes at our meeting after we are done working on our crafts for the creative craft badge. For more information on this program please see this link:

Scarves and food drive for the Shepherds of Good Hope (November 20): A representative from the Shepherds of Good Hope will meet with the Guides to tell us a bit about what they do. We will also be collecting canned food items for the organization, as well as making scarves. ** We could really use a couple of parent helpers to help cut and pin the polar fleece for the girls. Please let Jen know if you can help, or even loan us a pair of fabric scissors for the evening. Any help would be appreciated!
Other news:
Winter camp forms will be available shortly. Stay tuned! They will need to be returned promptly with payment to ensure a spot, as numbers are limited at Woolsey.
