We recently received a very beautiful letter that inspired us to write this blog. The letter was from a mother with two young daughters, and it definitely reinforced the power of positive role models for children and the strength of friendship. Our special thanks to Yasuko for sharing her thoughts with us…
Many of you already know that “Bobs & Lolo” first met at a Girl Guide Camp on Vancouver Island. After a weekend of campfire sing-a-longs, delicious snappy snacks and silly pranks, we knew we were destined to be best buds forever! We often share stories from the early years of our friendship at our live shows, and we were extremely flattered to learn that Yasuko found our story inspiring enough to take the time to send a letter on our behalf to the Girl Guides of Canada’s head office in Toronto, Ontario.
As a result of Yasuko’s support and initiative, the Girl Guides of Canada organization is currently promoting a Bobs & Lolo Prize Contest. Click here for more information about the contest and to learn more about the organization. The prize package includes a Sea Notes CD, Musical Adventures CD, On Your Feet DVD, Bobs & Lolo t-shirts and more! Contest deadline is September 30, 2008.
Before we sign off from this one, we also want to give a big shout out to our Moms for being such incredible role models to us…as well as being two of our first Guiders! We love you Momma Pond and Momma Hardy!!
So we travel on together,
Through the bright and stormy weather,
Striding forth in work and game,
We are joined by the Guiding spirit,
The world is ne’re the same
- Sisters in Guiding (3rd verse)
And one more final treat…Lolo in her Brownie uniform (circa 1985):
