We encourage you to recycle enough bottles and cans to reach a goal of $5 per GUIDE.
How can we set a goal to return 50 container? 
I know that is a lot but think about how you might be able to find enough cans and bottles?

What do you have at home?
Go on a walk in your neighbourhood see if there are any on the ground.
Ask your friends and neighbours to assist you in your goal.

We would like you to take back your own containers back and bring in the money when we meet in person in April. 

We would like complete our goal by MAY.

Monday, February 22nd HAPPY THINKING DAY

It's a very exciting day for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts all over the world.
It's Thinking Day! 

Tonight
Each Guide is asked to present something about their cultural background.
If you have a national costume or outfit it would be great if you want to wear it or show it to us. 
Each Guide will get to share a little bit about their background or if they don't want to share about their own family background they can choose a country they would like to present about (they should choose a country that has Guiding in it).

Have you found a blue light for Guiding?   
See the news story here -
Read about it in the news story

I put up my lights in my window (see photo above) but your own tea light candle counts too.
