Margaret McNeill has had amazing results from her District and Unit Leaders' efforts to recruit girls and new Leaders. Following a one day Shepparton Sdhool Promotion workshop in March this year, Margaret and her team have worked tirelessly and her Region has never looked so healthy. There were approximately 16 new District Leaders and Unit Leaders as well as Guiding Partners who received their 'Special Body Shop gift' in August.

JOTA/JOTI is now almost here, on 15 16 October. I am sure you have planned many interesting activities to do on this • weekend with the assistance of your Guides. It has been good to hear of some of the Units taking part from Shepparton, Geelong and Morwell to name a few, but I am sure there are many more. I know Scouts have camps in Ballarat, Gembrook and Nar Nar Goon areas and stations at Horsham and many other places. All of these would be very willing to assist your Unit if you have not yet been able to arrange something. So go on, get in touch with someone in your vicinity today and go and have fun together, while you participate in the largest youth event in the world.

I would love to hear how you participated and who you were able to talk to. You will find a form on the Guides Victoria website (www.guidesvic.org.au) that gives you guidelines for the type of information I require. Please let me know early in November so I can include your exciting events in the National report I have to have in by the end of November.

If you were able to get your badges at the station you attended, you can send me your report by email or fax but if you require badges, you can send me your report with your order for badges. They are 75 cents each this year (plus postage) and are a nice blue and white. They may be worn on the sash as a special event badge until the same time next year, when they are replaced by next year's badge.

Have a good weekend and I look forward to reading about it in your reports.

October 2005 - Page 7 Festivals of Light by Guides Victoria Program Department

As members of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, we celebrate our faiths and beliefs in many different ways. However, despite many faiths seeming to be different on the outside, there are also similarities across these diverse religions. One such commonality is the significance of light or flame. A lighted lamp is considered an auspicious or holy symbol all over the world - in many communities it is considered to be a symbol of purity. The activities outlined below highlight some of the festivals that celebrate using light - perhaps you could explore one or more of these festivals and try out some of the activities.

What to look for... a role model, energy, organisational skills, friendly, approachable and cares for girls and is willing and able to give to the community.

How to do it... Talk to lots of women and check your Region or District `spotto' lists, speak positively of the advantages, friendships and opportunities.

Where... women's organisations, groups, clubs, staff rooms, at work, supermarkets, hairdressers, real estate agents and banks - in fact almost anywhere!

What if she says she will think about it?... Suggest a get-together in a few days, a coffee/chat to answer questions about Guiding or offer her an invitation to come to the next Unit/District meeting or social event. Nurture her interest, offer her a job to do, sign her up! Don't forget, there is a Recruitment Video for adults and youth. Adult Membership Incentives include The Body Shop Gift' and opportunities to share social events. • The Triple Treat Badges Youth Incentive is going strong, especially since the introduction of McDonald's ice cream vouchers!

October 2005 - Page 12 Leaders for Life Looking for a bit more in your life? Guides Victoria, through Leaders for Life, can provide new skills and the confidence to take up new interests, enriching your life. I took up the Leaders for Life opportunity a couple of years ago and now my life has renewed energy. I had been a Leader working with girls 7-11 for 10 years, stayed a financial member and read of this opportunity in Communicating. I decided to take up the offer and nominated myself. And I'm glad I did! Our organisation has introduced this initiative offering this wonderful program for Leaders to further their skills and widen their horizons. The presenters of the varied workshops are professional women, Women of Note, who give freely of their time speaking on their chosen field of expertise. I have been very fortunate to hear their wise words and have taken on new challenges in both my Guiding and personal life. I invite you to do the same and take on THE CHALLENGE. I DARE YOU! DON'T ASK YOURSELF ASK YOURSELF WHY NOT?! Enquiries: Jan McMenamin Ph: 9725 0760 or Email: [email protected] Membership Challenge
