Happy New Year! We hope that you all had a wonderful holiday
season. A couple of items have come up over the last few weeks that we wanted
to update you about. Please also see below for an overview of what’s in store
for your Spark during the next few meetings.
Disney on Ice
Tickets: Last year the Girl Guides were offered a special promotion for
the Disney on Ice show at the Canadian Tire Centre. Although details are not
yet available, indications from the Guiding office suggest we will also be
offered a deal this year. Last year the offer included discounted tickets
(around $20 each), a special badge for participating Girl Guides, and a
workshop at the end of the evening where the Girl Guides in attendance got to
chat with some of the performers and costume designers. Parents and siblings
were able to attend the event as well.
We had a very small window of opportunity to buy the tickets
last year (i.e. under a week to collect all the money; the tickets were first
come, first serve), and this is likely to be the case this year as well. If you
do think you will be interested in the tickets, likely for the evening show on
Friday, February 21, please indicate the number of tickets you would be looking
for on the sign-up sheet at the January 7 meeting.
Volunteer needed for
our January 14 meeting: Jewel (Jenn R) will be away on vacation the week of
January 13. We are looking for a parent volunteer come in to help us out if
possible. If you are interested, please let Marigold (Jen Collins) know.
Rally Day,
Canada’s Wonderland, May 31, 2014: This year, there will be a
province-wide Girl Guide Rally at Canada’s Wonderland. The day-long event is
for Girl Guides of all ages. If you are interested in taking your Spark (they
must be accompanied by a Leader or a female adult with a police record check),
please see Marigold for more information.
Other Notes:
- Please ensure your Spark
has indoor shoes for every meeting. If possible, please also try to have
her go to the washroom before the meeting.
- We’ll be placing an order with the Girl Guide Store after the January 21 meeting. If you have anything you’d like to order, please see Marigold.
