November 24 - Make a Difference! - and upcoming events

Hi Families,

This week’s meeting will focus again on community service work – we will fill our Make a Difference bags (donations are definitely welcome, please see the previous blog post for details) and we will be making cat beds for the Ottawa Humane Society. Drop-off for the meeting is 6:30pm and pick-up is at 8:15pm.

Please remind your Guides that, unless specified, they need to attend our meetings in full uniform (Guide shirt, necker, and sash, plus dark pants or skirt). They should also bring indoor shoes. We have informed the girls that only patrols that have all members in full uniform will be able to carry the flag in our opening horseshoe.

Also, I am emailed a handy camp skills handbook that you may wish to print for your Guide. We went through some of the items in it last week and it is a very handy reference for the girls to have.
