Our
Unit has worked very hard over the past 18 months to make some of our greatest
Guiding dreams come true. This summer we will embark on an incredible journey with EF tours
through Switzerland, including a day trip to Our Chalet; through
Italy and France and then we will travel to England to stay at Pax Lodge and participate
in the Journey Through London program.
Our
Unit, the 1st Europe 2012 Independent Unit, consists of three Guiders and 18
girl Members, almost all of whom have been in Guiding since Sparks, They
accepted my challenge of using cookie sales to finance our trip, and in doing
so, broke cookie-selling records provincially and nationally by selling 1245
cases of classic cookies. This past fall we sold over 400 cases of mint cookies
and again this spring another 800 cases.
We
delivered phone books, held pancakes breakfasts and auctions; sold thousands of
chocolate bars and hundreds of perogies! Parents, grandparents and girls,
brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins...everyone helped sell, eat and work
their way toward this trip. The past 18 months have been an incredible journey,
but the reward for all the hard work awaits us July 1!
We
have created this which we
hope you will follow as we travel.
The
girls will be doing the postings and recapping the excitement of each day.
Join us as we travel through Europe, we will be glad to have you along!
18 days and counting!
Yours
in Guiding,
Yvonne DeBruyne
