Biscuits selling

Waimarino girl guides sold their biscuits door to door on Saturday 14 March without having the problems with dogs other areas experienced. Leader Margaret Martin said "the response was average, but there are still more biscuits to sell". She said thank you to the helpers who sold biscuits and to the people who bought them. Selling biscuits is the major fund raising activity the guides do each year and the profits are normally enough to cover their annual expenses of rent, levies to headquarters, training leaders, insurance and accident compensation levy. Extra funds are

from subs the girls pay each term and for speciai events such as jamborees more fund raising has to be done. If anyone wishes to buy more biscuits they can contact Lynn Price at Raetihi Pharmacy.
