Hi , I ’ m Michelle , the new editor of Parents Press . After working on the last edition of the newsletter with Christina , I have now taken over the editor role with Christina now in charge of design { or making it look pretty !} We have a lot of great ideas in the pipeline to improve the newsletter , including moving the newsletter to a digital one .... so watch your inbox .
I ’ d love to hear any suggestions you have for the newsletter , we produce it for you our members so we want to make sure we are providing what you want to read ! With the winter weather bearing down on us I thought it was only right we have a winter theme for this edition .
We have some great information for looking after babies over the winter months , and helping to keep the older kids entertained . Winter can be hard for parents with the kids inside for extended periods of time , so finding new ways to keep them busy can be a godsend . But don ’ t be afraid to get out and enjoy the outdoors over winter , it can be invigorating to get out in the cold and have a run around before coming back indoors and snuggling up by the fire . Until next time , stay warm ! Michelle . Contact me at hmpceditor @ gmail . com
Hi everyone ! Welcome to the latest edition of the Parents Press .
Once again , the year seems to be flying by and winter is upon us . Here at the Hamilton Parents Centre there have been lots of changes over the last year . We have had some long term committee members leave us and had some great and enthusiastic new members join . In particular , I would like to say a huge thank you to Wendy Flintoff-Baker who has been on committee for approximately 6 years ,
President ’ s message
including holding the role of treasurer for much of that time . Wendy has done some awesome work for us and we are lucky that she has taken on a role as Regional Coordinator so we will still be able to tap into her knowledge .
Our AGM is on 26th June this year and we would love to have lots of our members attend and have a say in who is on the committee and how the centre can go forward ( see Facebook page for details of when and where ).
We are in full planning mode for what Hamilton Parents Centre will be doing over the next 12-18 months and we have some really exciting things planned for Hamilton parents and parents to be . Watch this space , and make sure you like us on Facebook so you know what ’ s coming up . And if you would like to be part of the excitement , please come forward and take a place on the committee – we always welcome new faces and ideas .
I look forward to seeing you at the AGM or at one of our events in the near future . Take care and keep warm , Vicki ( Acting President ).
