Hi Families!
I hope this finds you all well-rested after March Break. We are in the final stretch for this Guiding year - can you believe it? Here's the lowdown for the next few weeks. We also have a few optional events coming up that I wanted to flag:
March 26: Door-to-door cookie selling. We'll meet at 6:15 at Alice's house (5078 North Bluff Drive), and sell near her house. Guides should come dressed for the weather - this is a rain or shine event and they will be outside for the entire time. We could also use a couple of parent volunteers if anyone would like to come along. **Cookie cases will be available for pick-up. Please bring a cheque (made out to the Girl Guides of Canada) or $60 cash for each case you are picking up.
March 30: Registration starts for Guides returning to the same units. Details will follow from Girl Guides by email.
April 2: This week we are working on a Renewable Energy Challenge. We will also do a couple of fun Easter-themed activities.
April 9: This week we'll finish up a few outstanding requirements for a couple of program squares (code breaking, be prepared kits) and play some games.
April 13: Optional event: Third-year Guides will be invited to the Manotick Pathfinders meeting. You should receive an email invitation about this event directly from the Manotick group.
April 16: We are working on the Inventing Badge!
April 23: Field trip to Foxy Recycle, 2940 Baseline Rd (http://www.foxyrecycle.com/ ). Details and permission forms to follow. This is an electronics recycling depot. If the girls bring an old electronic device to recycle, they will try to do some of them on the spot.
April 25: Optional event, Saturday am in the neighbourhood: Our unit will be participating in the annual Clean Up the Capital Event and the Great Canadian Shoreline Clean-up.
April 30: Gardening at SMPS and a bike ride around the Community.
