District Report

Thankyou Chantelle for helping. Now your moving to Alice Springs and going to become a guide Leader in Training. Chantelle has a wonderful repour with the Guides and we all will miss her. You are most welcome back in to the Hazelwood and Churchill Girl Guide District at anytime Chantelle.

Sadie, Nadine and Michelle are to do leadership training core and one in next region training days. There are forms to fill and apply for this training after your discussion with the Region Leader.

The Hazelwood South Community Hall was made by the people for the people. To bring this hall back into the community the Hazelwood and Churchill Girl guides have adopted the hall as a service project. Hazelwood and Churchill Girl Guide District hold the lease of the Hazelwood South Community Hall. But to obtain assistance from the Department of Sustainability and Environment there needs to be a management committee. Effectively any group booked regular user of the Hazelwood South Community hall can send representatives along to the second meeting of this management committee. Decision of last meeting was to go ahead, form a management committee (Incorporated) Next meeting to be decided.

There is an international greening project called “Gorilla gardening”. Effectively where there is a plot of land that is looking bare the people organise a planting program. For more information check it out on the Web Pages…. Gorilla gardening is in the web page name.

Internationally Girl Guiding has always been environmentally friendly. The younger Guides want to plant, dig in and climb things. So - four truck loads of tan bark appeared as a donation. During the ‘Daring’ overnight stay those who were not entertaining were out there doing just that. Then came the thefts. After the third load went the police were called, different people were able to give descriptions to the police. We notice that so far the tan bark is not being removed currently. About one truck load has gone missing

The Hazelwood and Churchill Girl Guide District has now a Community garden group beginning to operate. Plans being discussed and after consultation with an appropriate Elder has been obtained plans are to be drawn up. How the work will progress is up to Bud (Community Gardens Supervisor ) and Susan Connor (the Community Gardens Guiding contact for this girl Guide District)

As with all the groups intending to use the Hazelwood South Community Hall when another web page or Blog is created the progress of all the groups will be recorded.

Different groups are now using the hall. The cost of $1.00 per person using the hall the basic bills may just be about covered.

.

First Aid training needed. Warragul offers updates on CPR but days training is $110.00 per person.

However the cost of each person attending the hall is one dollar per time. Of meeting. Just dropping stuff off then this is noted in the registration book too.

Registration book is a financial year dairy, Youth members do not sign this book individual. A notation of ‘Youth member (9 ) is written in when there is nine youth members attending The adult names are written in. Say there is four adults and nine youth members that is now $13.00 to be held for management.

Bills are current. Problem with the financial books not being yet checked by an accountant. Treasurer now has the financial book back in her position. Was meant to attend and bring them to meeting. Debbie will take these books now to her accountant. If not willing to do these we will send them to Guide Centre for finalisation. And keep looking for an accountant who will process these books for this year. Missing page 1 and 2 of District \bank Statements. Possibly with last years books. Will obtain a replacement copy.

Still a problem with cars driving over the reserve. Entering from the front of the reserve. The president and the secretary are very aware of this problem. So are the Police as we have made them aware.

Debbie has her 20 year service to Guiding approaching .soon.

Who do you know that has been networking and raising peoples awareness and interest in Girl guides? The Butterfly award is a great way of expressing gratitude and raising further awareness.
