Gift Wrapping
 
After 10 years working in conjunction with Northlands Mall, they have radically revised the criteria for gift wrapping.
 
Following a survey of club members where the response clearly indicated low numbers being able to attend the compulsory training, the Board have regretfully advised Northlands that our club will not be involved in the gift wrapping project this year.

If you can make it please feel free to dress in your Christmas regalia to delight the residents.

All welcome.
 
 
Ladies Breakfast Reminder
 
 
Our speaker for the 28th of November is Gary Quarless, Principal of Allenvale School, accompanied by Bev Wall, parent and recipient of gift wrapping last year.
 
Allenvale is a special school in Christchurch catering for young people with disabilities. The school has staff comprising teachers, therapists and teaching assistants and provides programmes for students aged between 5 and 21 across a variety of settings.
 
Allenvale is focused on meeting the needs of each student and engaging with parents, whanau and community. Senior students are often involved in work placements, polytechnic courses and a variety of community programmes.
 
We look forward to hearing from Gary and Bev.
 
 
Thought for the week …
 
It’s really hard to listen to the William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger.
