For the next two meetings, we’re out and about in the community!  Please note next week’s meeting is on Tuesday Oct 11 (no meeting on Wednesday night). We’re joining the 6th Pathfinders for a presentation about a Southridge Ranger’s recent GGC international trip to Peru!

On Wednesday Oct 19, we’re selling cookies at Broadway-City Hall Canada Line station! Note the early start and end times. There will be two cookie selling shifts to sign up for – 4:00-5:30 pm, and 5:30 – 7:00 pm. Stay tuned for more info about how to sign up!

Also, we’ve added lots of event info and permissions forms for some great upcoming events to the website, including Snow Camp at Mount Seymour Provincial Park, and a First Aid course with St John’s Ambulance. Check out the Calendar for more information!

We’re starting the “We are what we eat” module this week with a few tasty treats, so be sure to bring your program book and a hair tie!

Also, October 5 is the last chance to pick up a case of cookies to sell on your own. Remember, a portion of your sales go into your personal “cookie cash” fund for special events and outings!

It’s that time again! Chocolatey-mint cookies are here! Cookies sales start on Sunday September 25. Cookies are $5 per box. Remember, a portion of every case of cookies you sell goes towards your personal fundraising goals!

If you would like to pick up additional cases of cookies at our next meeting, please e-mail Karla before 5:00 pm on Tuesday.

More information to come on a public sales date in October!
