Our two Tweenies, Nancy Sue Horne and Verna Mae Harrison, acted as mail carriers for our Valentine mail. We hope to see every Brownie in full uniform next Sunday, February 22, in the church basement for church parade. Don't forget the time, 6.30 p.m. Any friends or relatives of our Brownie are welcome at our meeting at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 21. Come and see the Brownies in action. The last half hour of our meet- ing was given over to delivering the mail. All the Brownies sat on chairs in a large circle. The “Poet Men," Joanna Lamont and Gail Morgan, went around the outside of the circle dropping each Brownie', mail under her chair. The Brownies in the circle an; favourite songs and then learnt a new one. When all the mail was delivered the Brownies eagerly looked at their Valentines. Many of them found they also had letters. Our Pen Pals in England had sent us some mail and so it was delivered in this novel way. Brownies, this is Boy Scout-Girl Guide Week.
