The delicious vanilla and chocolate cookies are still only $5 a box, and can be sold starting March 26.  If you would like to get your cookies before the long weekend (family dinners are a great place to sell cookies!) we will be having a cookie pickup next week, March 23.  Please email Amy if you are interested in getting a head start on the selling.  We will also have cookies available for pickup the following week, March 30.

Please email Amy ASAP if you would like to attend the District Thinking Day event on Sunday.  The organizers need to know how many people are coming so they can buy snacks and supplies!

We have two events coming up which need RSVPs.  Please email Karla to let her know if you are coming to either event.

Enrolment and Old Spaghetti Factory Dinner – please RSVP by Monday evening so we can confirm our reservation with the restaurant.  Let Karla know if you will be meeting us there at 7pm, or meeting at 29th Avenue Skytrain at 6:30 to take the train.

CWFF Fundraising Dinner – Families are invited to this dinner to raise money for the Canadian World Friendship Fund.  Please RSVP by January 28 with the number of adults and children who will be attending and indicate your choice of pasta sauce (tomato with meatballs or alfredo).

Please bring your membership pin on Wednesday if you have one.  You’ll be getting a new one to represent your years in Guiding when we have our enrolment.

We have lots of events happening in October, so here’s what you need to know.  Click each link for information about times/dates/location.

Cookie Selling at Killarney Community Centre – Let Karla know if you can come for a two hour shift.

Cookie Selling at Broadway Skytrain – This will be instead of our regular evening meeting.

Iron Chef – Girls who have said they are coming must bring their permission form and $15 to one of the cookie selling events.

Fright Nights – If you are planning to attend, you need to bring your money to one of the cookie selling events or the Fort Langley outing.  The cost is $32 in advance, $38 the night of the event.

This week we will be diving into the program modules to do some planning for the year.  Each girl who brings her program book will get a prize!

We also need to decide about some of our outing ideas for the year, so there will also be prizes for anyone who brings information about Fright Nights at Playland (times, cost) and volunteering at the SPCA (age requirement, time commitment).

Next week we will start envisioning what we want to do together this year. Come with some ideas on the following topics, and your program book (girls who are new to Pathfinders will be receiving their books soon). 

• What kind of bridging activity would you like to host/attend?
• Where would you like to go camping?
• What types of program work would you like to work on?
• What kind of service/volunteer project would you like to do?
• What kind of events or special outings are you interested in?

If you are coming to Camp Olave on May 8-10, forms and payments were due this week, but will still be accepted next week.  Please email Amy if you are coming because we need to know numbers for planning.

Cookie money will be due May 13.  If you’ve sold all your cookies already bring your money in ASAP.

If you forgot to bring $5 for yoga last week, please bring it on Wednesday as well.

Come next week with your ideas of what you’d like to do at camp.  Is there a module requirement you need to do?  Do you want to try something new like archery or geocaching?  Bring your book, Wednesday will be fun-filled with camp planning!
