Letters to the Editor...Georgetown Guiders are the best

Dear editor, With Volunteer Week set for this month (April), I would like to recognize a group of very dedicated Guiders in our community. These wonderful women take many hours from their busy lives to provide opportunities and fun for the girls of this community. In addition to the hours they spend planning and attending weekly meetings; they also devote many others to attending District events, organizing camps, going on outings and completing trainings so that they may continue to contribute in the development of our daughters. This assists our youth in developing the self-confidence and skills required to succeed in the world-- both today and in the future. The talents, flexibility and capabilities of these wonderful ladies are endless; and they provide a great role model who may influence personal, academic and athletic achievements of our girls. Their biggest reward is the smile on the face of a girl who has met yet another challenge and is looking forward to facing the next one. These ladies do a much more than sell Girl Guide Cookies! Although the sale of these cookies is our major, often sole, fundraiser and is used to provide extra activities within their units and keep the cost reasonable so all may participate, it is only a small part of their role. On behalf of the girls, I would like to thank the Guiders of Georgetown District for all their on-going dedication. Guiders of Georgetown, you are the best!
