vie for their attention but were hopeful we can interest enough to stay on this fall the brownies and guides have had a temporary change of venue for their weekly meetings as their regular home latcham hall is under going renovations resulting in the use of the recreation cen tre on an interim basis the facilities at latcham hall are great for us says barb we have our own storage area and that makes for a lot less work moving things around all the time nondenominational the guiding program is still as its always been non- denominational in makeup but theres definitely a stress on duty to god along with re sponsibilities to country and community the girls enjoy involvement in camping trips and the santa claus parade they also dis tribute candy to the towns seniors at christmas they attended the olympic flame ceremony at vandorf last de cember and they still sell girl guide cookies each spring flyup night the big night of the year for brownies and guides takes place april 19
