Hi Families,
This week we are doing our Habitat for Humanity Challenge. The girls will learn what goes into building a house and about women in the trades. We'll also be making a special present for a family who is getting a Habitat for Humanity house at the end of November. (Challenge crest, In My Community Keeper)
On November 26 we'll continue working on our World Around Me keeper by discussing the Girl Guides' World Centres and talking about diversity. There will be a bit of "homework" to do for this week: on the 19th your girls will bring home paper leaves. On her leaf, please write her first name (middle name if you'd like as well) on it, along with what her name means and its origin, ie:
Jennifer - means: white wave. Origin: English (I just looked my name up on Babynames.com)
Also, please put on the back of the leaf where your family is from, e.g. if your spark has a parent/grandparent from Germany, etc.
November 30 - Just a reminder about the Memorial Campfire for Pauline Kuiack at RCMP Long Island Campground (Manotick). The campfire starts at 6:30pm on Saturday November 30th, and all Girl Guides and their families are invited to participate. We'll also be collecting donations to help pay for a plaque that will be permanently displayed at Camp Woolsey in Pauline's honour .
Snowsuit Fund - Between now and our December 3 meeting we will be collecting new or gently used mitts and hats for the Ottawa Snowsuit fund as a community service project. If you would like to donate, please just bring your donation in during one of our next three meetings.
Reminder: Forms are due for the Mommy and Me sleepover this week!
Thanks and see you soon,
Marigold, Jewel and Hearts
