Churton Park Community Centre - What's On to 19th October 2014

Hi Everyone

We’ve had many smiling faces through the Centre for fun activities over the school holidays, but we’re back to normal schedules now, so for what’s coming up next week, please click here. There are still space in the Safe Driving Classes for Seniors, coming up next week and the week after. See below for further details.

Fill the KCA Warehouse Food Drive - Kiwi Community Assistance have recently opened a new warehouse, and in a wonderful initiative sparked by lovely local woman, Michelle Harrison, we will be collecting food throughout October to help KCA fill their new warehouse. Check out the list on the poster attached for the kinds of items we are looking for and add one item to your next shopping trip. Michelle estimates that if every household in Churton Park alone contributes one item, that will be over 2,000 items of much needed food re-distributed to those most in need. You can drop your items to Churton Park Community Centre between 10 - 2pm weekdays. Please share with your friends, get your kids involved and help 'Fill the Warehouse'! Thanks Churton Park!
