Dear girls,

Every year as we celebrate Girls' Brigade Day, I am filled with thankfulness to God for bringing each and every precious one of you into GB, and into our lives.

We have so many treasured moments together, and I hope you will remember fondly all the times you had with your friends in GB in the years to come. =)

As we celebrate Girls Brigade Day this year, let us also give thanks for the early pioneers of GB who made this CCA possible. Let us also in the same way, give back to GBHQ through our fund-raising so that more of others may also benefit from the wonderful programs of GB like you have.

This year, we are extremely blessed to have a sponsorship by Hobie muffins. That should help you in your fund-raising efforts. Just to let you know, if you enjoy their muffins, you can find their products in selected Cold Storage & Market Place outlets!

Chinese New Year Visiting!

Dear girls,

We will be visiting the residents staying in one-room flats in Holland Village on Feb 6 to spread some festive Chinese New Year cheer! Here are the details:


Date: Feb 6 (sat)
Time: 8am - 1130pm
Venue: Gathering & dismissal @ NYPS courtyard
Attire: GB Polo-T + School skirt
Remarks: Ask your parents along! We need at least 10 adult volunteers!
(Please submit consent forms to GB pigeon hole by this sat, Jan 30)

These residents need our support as their monthly household income is below $1500. As many of them are also elderly people, they would also appreciate us spending time with them.

We'll be bringing food from the Food Donation Drive when we go on our visitation, as we did last year. I would like to encourage all of you to save some money this week, so that we can bless these residents with a token ang pow when we visit them. Let's try to save $7 each (that's about $0.50 per day!) so that we can all contribute to the ang pows. I am sure they will really appreciate our small gesture of kindness!

Do check out our previous post on the Food Donation Drive 09 if you would like to remember what it is about. This year, we will not be in charge of manning the collection point, but let's all bring some food items to contribute as well! =)
