COMMUNITY NOTICES
·         Here's a great Christmas holidays project - get planting so you can take part in the Little Sprouts Country Fair Green Thumb Competition in March next year. We support Little Sprouts at CPCC by taking donations of new baby clothes and equipment, which Little Sprouts re-distribute to newborn babies in need. Check them out at https://www.facebook.com/LittleSproutsNZ.

To keep up to date with what’s on at CPCC throughout the week, you can follow us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/ChurtonParkCommunityCentre). It’s publically available, so you can view it even if you don’t belong to Facebook.
Have a great Christmas!
