Backpacks for Primary School Children

This year we are assisting families by providing backpacks and school supplies for the 2017 school year. If you would like to contribute money towards the backpacks please contact Jan.

Julie & Jan would like to thank all those who have contributed sweet and savoury food for our Sunday morning teas throughout the year. Julie would like to thank Jan for taking over the co-ordination of the Sunday morning teas during Julie’s absence, as well as doing all the shopping for the Parish Centre. Thank you to Hilary for assisting Jan on Sunday mornings and to Muriel for setting up on Thursday mornings. We have decided to keep our Sunday morning teas simple during January , so will not be asking for contributions of morning tea until Sunday February 5th.
