Toy Mountain Challenge!


"The 2nd Riverside South Sparks is working with the Riverside South Community Association to help build Toy Mountain! 

We are extending the challenge to all Guiding and Scouting groups in the neighbourhood to see how many toys these groups can contribute!  Arrangements should be made to deliver all contributions to Toy Mountain at the RSCA Santa Breakfast on Saturday morning, December 5th. 
 
Here is the information that we are sharing with our girls and families:
 
"This year, our Sparks group would like to contribute to the Riverside South Community Association's (RSCA) efforts to build Toy Mountain in Ottawa.  We are challenging all of the Guiding and Scouting groups in the neighbourhood to see how many items we can contribute to Toy Mountain.  

Taking part is easy! Simply bring a new, unwrapped toy to our regular Monday night Sparks meeting on Nov 23 or Nov 30, and you will help make this Christmas a special one for girls and boys in need in the Ottawa region.
Parents - We realize that many families attend the neighbourhood Santa Breakfast, coordinated by the RSCA, on December 5th.  The contributions from our Sparks group will be delivered to Toy Mountain at Rideauview Community Center on that date.  If you can simply funnel your contributions through our Sparks unit, we would greatly appreciate it!"
In addition to collecting for the toy mountain we will also be planning our Christmas Party.

Also from the Tour Information,
Parents dropping off youth should be sure to await the arrival of at least two leaders before departing. It is recommended that parents escort their youth inside the building and await dismissal by the leader before departing. Parents are always welcome to stay for the tour, however.
