Churton Park Community Centre - What's On to June 1st, 2014

Hi Everyone

Another severe weather warning has just popped into my inbox for high winds and rain this weekend, so take care out there! I can thoroughly recommend the Wellington Regional Management Office Facebook page for staying in touch with weather, earthquake and other emergency information. You can find them here: https://www.facebook.com/WREMOnz(it’s available even if you are not on Facebook). They are always the first to get accurate information about what’s going on in a disaster, so they are well worth having on your favourites.

For what’s coming up next week, please click here.

CANCELLED CLASS
Please be advised our Tuesday Ukulele classes have been cancelled for the foreseeable future. We wish our wonderful tutor Carole all the very best over the next few months…your beautiful music will be missed!

EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST
  • ** Under 18 Month Playgroup ** – I’m exploring offering a new playgroup at CPCC for under 18month olds. If you are a caregiver with a child in this age group, let me know if you’re interested in more information on this. I’d like to know from you whether you’d prefer a morning or afternoon session and if afternoon is your preference, would you like early (1-2pm) or late(after 3.30pm) afternoon? Thanks in advance.

COMMUNITY NOTICES
  • ** Volunteer Work for School Students ** - Recently I had a request from two local high school students wishing to volunteer their time as part of their community service requirements for school. I put the request out to some of my contacts in local charities, schools and kindies and their kind offer of help was quickly snapped up, with plenty of other groups also wanting to volunteers. If you are, or know of, local high school students needing community service hours, please have them get in touch with me as I am likely to be able to connect them with community groups needing. I have at least four jobs sitting here waiting for volunteers! If you are a group needing volunteers, please let me know as well. Get in touch with me:beckie.duffy@wcc.govt.nz or 830 4802.
  • ** Friday Night Storytime at Johnsonville Library ** - Come along to our new themed storytimes on the 1st Friday of each month at 6.30pm for a 30 minute session of stories and fun. The theme for June is “HATS” so come along wearing your favourite, funniest, silliest hat and be ready for some fun!
  • ** Asthma Free Community Education – see attached for details on free community education sessions from Asthma Wellington.
  • ** Local job with Playsense ** see the attached position description for a role with Playsense based here in Churton Park.

And finally, a plea came into the Centre this week from a frustrated local walker to please be considerate to others who walk around the suburb and clean up after your dog. This walker has noticed that dog mess is particularly bad down Lakewood and Abilene.

To keep up to date with what’s on at CPCC throughout the week, you can follow us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/ChurtonParkCommunityCentre). It’s publically available, so you can view it even if you don’t belong to Facebook.
