1st Chase River Guides
Newsletter #2 / Parent Meeting Info
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009
This is going to be a really exciting year – Girl Guides of Canada is 100 years old in 2010, and there are many, many exciting activities being planned at Unit, District, Area, Provincial and National levels. One of the really big events that we already know about is a giant Sleepover for all Guiding members in British Columbia at GM Place in Vancouver in May. We will have more info on this soon, along with fundraising.
We also have some big changes this year – one of the main being there are no longer any Guide Shops in BC – GGC has introduced
e-shopping! If you’ve already gotten your daughter’s uniform etc, great. We will talk tonight about possibilities of putting in a group order to reduce shipping costs.
