Cookie Day Saturday October 8th

The Fall Cookies are here!  Sparks, Brownies, Guides, and Guiders will be selling delicious Chocolate Mint Cookies at the Farmer's Market and Door-to-Door next Saturday.  We will need some girls to stay at the Farmer's Market to sell cookies and the rest to go door-to-door.  *Door-to-Door supervision will be the parent's responsibility. Please arrive at the Farmer's Market between 8-10am to pick up your cookies and to select a selling route. Door-to-Door sales will not begin until 10am.  Those who stay at the Farmer's Market are not expected to stay the entire 4 hours. All cookie money is due that same day. Cookie money collected after 12:00 is to be passed in to Guider Korene at her new store "Stepping Stone" in Wilkies Court {208 Main street across from St James United Church} between 1-3pm.  Anyone requesting to sell at their own pace may pre pay $48 per case.  If your daughter is unable to take part in our Cookie Day please make arrangements to take cookies home. Every member must sell at least one case of cookies!  Group sales events are a safe way for girls to sell cookies in their communities. Please show your support for girl greatness!

2011 Girl Guides Registration

Hello there!  Welcome back to another exciting year of Girl Guides!  We had an "Info Session" last night since we no longer have a "registration" night.  This year is the first time for Online Registration.  There have been some concerns from parents about not being able to complete the registration process on line and other payment issues.  Some people prefer the online process while others would rather have the papers in hand.  Those who prefer to register off line can phone this number  1-800-565-8111 or go to www.girlguides.ca to print out the form. Numbers are lower this year but hopefully within the next few weeks everyone will be registered.  

Sparks meet on Thursdays 6:15 -7:15  St James United

Brownies meet on Mondays 6:15-7:30 St Paul's Anglican

Guides meet on Thursdays 6:15-7:30 St James United

We Are On Facebook

Hello cyberland peeps...I have totally neglected "Antigonish Girl Guides" on Facebook.  Just yesterday, Wise Owl had mentioned that Facebook would be good PR for us and then it occured to me...We do have a facebook account!  I had created it over three years ago, posted a couple of messages but then totally forgot about it. I did a couple of posts yesterday and will do my duty to check on it regularily.  I have my own personal facebook account but I rarely use it...But...it would be neat if people sent in old Girl Guide photos or took part in a discussion wouldn't it? We shall see how it goes!

"Lee Ann's Girl Guide Notebook"

Hey everyone...our Brownie & Guide meetings do not start for another week so I will post about my Website "Lee Ann's Girl Guide Notebook". I think that I will stop adding to the website for a while and just use this Blog. It is alot easier and quicker to use...I'll see how it goes...but here is the address for my website...check it out! people.stfx.ca/ssmith/web

My very First Blog Post Ever

Hello there my little Smurfs! This is my very first post ever.  I love reading blogs so I thought I would blog about what we do at Guides and Brownies.  I'll keep this short since I do not know what to say yet...just wanted to test it out!  I will add to this on a regular basis....i'll add photos and meeting plans etc. or whatever I feel like at that moment! Check back next week...I should have new posts by then.

UPDATE: 07 June 2013
IF this is your first time viewing my blog please note that the first couple of months of posts are more unit related/parent fyi posts...if you continue to read on then you will find meeting ideas and activities!  So please ignore the early posts! Thanks!
