View to Christmas

By Helensburgh View Club publicity officer Barbara Kitson

The festive season is coming fast but we still have a few things left to accomplish before Christmas. Mary and I are taking school supplies to the Learning for Life centre at Dapto to help with the start of the 2023 school year for disadvantaged kids, Pam will organise gift cards for the children we sponsor. We also support the Smith Family in its Christmas toy and book appeal, another job for hard-working Pam (thanks Pam). This meeting we said good bye to Lyn who has moved to Newcastle. Thank you for being our treasurer, Lyn. Chris has stepped up to fill the job until we have our elections – good on you, Chris.

The ladies who went to the craft society last month had such a great day they would like to do it again, so Patty is endeavouring to organise another day before Christmas. Even if you aren’t a member, if we have a spare seats on the bus you are welcome to join us. Afterwards we go across to the Catholic Club for a yummy lunch and then return to Helensburgh. The bus leaves from, and returns to, the pool bus stop. If you’d like to join the craft day call president Patty on 0407 020 668.

Bring Christmas raffle donations to our October meeting. November will be our Christmas Party, the last meeting of the year.
