Hello Everyone!

Last spring Guide House was all a buzz as the Archive Committee welcomed the
1st Port Wallace Guide Unit for an afternoon of fun and games. The girls were treated to an
interactive display where members, young and old, played and learned together.

The girls travelled through time and, under the guidance of Mary Sargeant saw such items as: scrapbooks and pictures, uniforms worn in the past, badges, pins, dolls, collectables and
newspaper articles all collected and preserved for today’s and tomorrow’s members to enjoy.

Joining Mary were other members of the Archive Committee: Nicki Eisenhauer, Marion Faulkner,
Madge Masson, Vera Stone and Edith James who joined in the fun and worked side by side to
share their memories and experiences. One leader said “The girls said they liked seeing the
pictures and having the person there to tell the history behind the pictures. They also liked hearing about all the things the brownies had to learn to get their badges (golden hand etc).
”The afternoon was topped off with a visit from the Chief Commissioner, Myrtle Corkum,
who also visited the merchandising Center to buy a Sparks outfit for her Granddaughter. Myrtle enjoyed speaking with each of the girls who were very pleased to receive one of her patches.
After a light snack the girls participated in a very lively game of semaphore, lead by Mary.
As the girls were leaving a couple were heard telling their parents that they had an “awesome” time.

It was a good day!
