Happy New Year everyone and best wishes for 2018 – I hope it will be a good year for you all. And I hope you all had a nice Christmas and you enjoyed the lovely weather. Now we could do with some decent rain – my garden is really suffering! Hazel, Fay, Annette and I visited the Takanini Family Centre last month. Auckland East club were also there so it made for a nice group visit. We were able to meet the very dedicated staff, view the facility and see the wonderful work they do with the families who visit them. The HIPPY reading programme really caught our interest and we were shown some lovely photos of the children (6 years and under) graduating from the programme dressed in their gowns and caps and holding their certificates. We were delighted to be able to hand over our club donation which will go towards the work they do there. Fay and I were also able to take along to the Mt Albert Women’s

Refuge the emergency gift bags for which members have been collecting all year and meet new Manager Natalie Holden. She said the next 6 weeks would be very busy and asked that we pass on to members their sincere thanks. Gift bags were also delivered to the Women’s Refuge in Mangere. In their sub-sequent email their Manager Karen says: “They came just at the right time as we, so far, did not have anything to give the women for Christmas and we were beginning to despair. Thank you so much for thinking of us”. Club Ed PS: Remember to start thinking about planting your boot/shoe for the District Social in March.
