Bonbeach Farmers Market

Fundraising | Community, Gumnuts, Jamboree 2018, Juniors, Longbeach District, Seniors, Service

This Sunday Carrum Girl Guides are running egg & bacon stall at Bonbeach Farmers Market – if you can spare an hour to come down & assist we would be greatly appreciated. PR & fundraising are our aim. Being present in the community assist our public profile & raising money towards the 2018 Jamboree (guides who are 10 or above in the year of 2018 – September 2018 in Sydney is International Jamboree – trip of a lifetime! Approximately $1800 to attend!) 

Any parents who assist in fundraising between now & Jamboree will be eligible to a fundraising portion (based on contributions to each event). 

If you would assist us this weekend please add your name in comments on this blog post so that everyone can see the times so we don’t have everyone turn up at same time! 

Myself, Sam & Jan will be there. Guides in attendance are asked to wear uniform plus hat for SunSmart (no sash). Our presence in the community is important to growing our profile. 

Aspendale Gardens Primary School Twilight Carnival – Friday 25th November

Longbeach District

On Friday evening, we are promoting the Girl Guides as Aspendale Gardens & would love it if anyone would like to come in their uniform to help us show everyone how absolutely awesome Girl Guides are!

The carnival runs from 4-9pm with fireworks at 9pm. We will probably pack up a bit before the fireworks!

We are taking the giant games (Splat the Rat, Jenga & Kerplunk) & would love some girls to play these games & encourage others to join in & tell people about Guides! We will also be selling some biscuits.

If you have any time that you might be able to pop down for an hour or so, that would be great.

Blossom (from Carrum) & Kalaya (Carol from Mentone) will be there.
