President’ s Message
Well winter is well and truly here. Even though it hasn’ t really been too chilly this year, it has certainly brought its fair share of coughs and snotty noses to our house.
The two things I couldn’ t do without when the kids are like this is Vicks to put on their feet and the steam vaporiser to help everyone get a better night’ s sleep.
I would like to give a big welcome to our 2 new committee members, who joined at our AGM in June. Thank you for volunteering your time and energy to the HPC – it would not run without people like you! Also, a big welcome to our new Mini Rockers volunteers Sam, Fiona and Ginette.
We are always looking for people to volunteer with activities the centre is doing. You don’ t need to join the committee if you don’ t want to, there are always things we need support with, both on an on-going basis and project based activities. The biggest one is the Teddy Bears Picnic. If you would like to help with organising this amazing and fun event, let us know.
I hope you enjoy this edition of Parents Press. Michelle and Christina have been working really hard to get the e-newsletter up and running – no small task! We are aiming to have 100 % of the newsletter going out to our members electronically by the end of this year. Better on the environment, more interactive for our members and it means we have funds available to get more resources for our members. I hope you enjoy your first e-newsletter. Feel free to share this with your friends and to give us feedback on how you’ ve found it.
Take care until next time ~ Vicki
Editor’ s Message
Welcome to another edition of Parents Press and our first digital issue! We hope you enjoy this new way of receiving your newsletter.
We have a great theme this issue; it’ s all about cherishing the memories of your children and their childhood, as it goes by so quickly!
Putting the newsletter together has inspired me to do more to capture those special moments with my kids.
Only this morning I was framing up some of my daughters art, they are going to look fantastic hanging up on the wall, and she couldn’ t be prouder! I hope you also get some inspiration from the articles; there are lots of great but simple ideas in there. Look out for a couple of fantastic competitions we have on offer this issue too.
Until next time, enjoy your child’ s childhood with them, they’ ll love you for it! ~ Michelle
