Guides

Guiding in Nobleton is in serious need of adult leaders, 18 years of age and older. All units require leaders - Sparks, who are five to six years of age; Brownies, seven to eight; Guides, nine to 11 years; and Pathfinders, 12 to 14 years.

If we do not have enough leaders, we will not be able to open our units. We need your help!

Guiding provides an opportunity for women to develop personal values, to be challenged, to make friends, to acquire leadership skills and to have fun. Please consider sharing your skills with us! We provide training for all Guiders.

Contact District Commissioner Donna Marchand at (905) 859-8088 today!

Our fall cookies will be arriving soon. We will be out and about in the community selling our chocolate-mint cookies. The price of $4 a box remains the same.

Please support Guiding in Nobleton. We need your help more than ever. If you would like to order some cookies, please contact Linda Boak at (905) 859- 4528.

Horticulture Submitted by Hans Nielsen

"Praise is a device for making a man deserve it." (Franklin P. Jones)

A good turn out of members and friends to the Nobleton and King City Horticultural Society's September meeting enjoyed a quality flower show and excellent speaker.

Lorraine Mennen from Pathways to Perennials gave a very comprehensive talk about drought resistant and water-efficient-plants. She is a professional speaker and covered a long range of problems and solutions for the gardener in being water efficient in the garden. She invited the audience to visit the nursery's Web site for much more information - www.pathwaysstoperennials .com

Shelley Miller of Heritage Portraits then gave a slide show from the society's garden tour this past summer. The presentation was set to music and will make an excellent momento for the members to have. It was very well and professionally done. Copies are available for Heritage Portraits.

There were 128 entries by 12 exhibitors in the flower show and Nancy Hopkinson (Nobleton) won first place with most points. Amy Fazari (Nobleton) came in second and Jules Maule Ffinch (Caledon East) was third. Best in the decorative class was Amy Fazari for her most beautiful arrangement, Farmer's Market. And Amy Fazari also won best in the cultural

class for her excellent floribunda rose. Congratulations to all.

The refreshment committee of Jean Keane with help from Rosemarie Huber, Marisa Figliano and Muade Featherstone out did themselves with coffee, tea and most delicious sweets.

The members and public are reminded of the society's upcoming plant sale Oct. 14 in King City. The sale will be held adjacent to the arena and the Senior's Centre in connection with the Lions auction sale. Plants can be dropped of at Blair Day, 29 Fisher St., across from the Senior's Centre. Call (905) 833-5173 for more information, or visit the society's Web site at www.altflora.com/nobleton
