thank you
TIMARU TOTS PAGE 6
Thank you to Larrisa Kitchen and Chelsea McAuley who attended Class 4 as Parents Centre Reps. PC
Reps can be anyone who wants to attend our CBE classes to support the CBE Educator and share
your parenting journey. Please phone Kate on 684 5348 if you would like to attend our CBE classes
as a PC Rep.
Many thanks for committee members who have been to Plunket Pepe talks recently, your time and
effort is fantastic.
Our focus night on Introducing Sexuality was great. Thank you to Emma for all her organizing, Jenny
Ryan for sharing all her information and knowledge and to everyone who came along. It certainly
gave me a lot to think about for our kids.
Thank you to everyone who supported our movie night in August. Magic Mike was an entertaining
movie and we really appreciate the Movie Max support, all of you who came along, the committee
who provided a fabulous supper and to Anne-Marie for all her hard work in preparing for the night.
Great work committee members on selling all the tickets for a sell-out night!
We had awesome raffle prizes, thank you very much to everyone who donated prizes.
Committee members had a training night back in August and we were very lucky to have Debbie Kell
and Sarah Cameron from Ashburton and Burnham, travel down here to help develop and extend our
knowledge about PCNZ and volunteering, thank you. Thank you, also, to all committee members for
taking time to have an extra night out.
Congratulations to Chelsea, Ivan and Quinn McAuley who welcomed Darcy into their family recently.
He is just lovely and I am sure he will be joining Lewis at a committee meeting soon!
Wanting to have a night out once a month – come join our committee! In order for Timaru Parents
Centre to keep growing and developing we are always looking for more enthusiastic people
to join us. You can do as little or as much as you want on our committee and we are supported
by Parents Centre New Zealand to help us in all of our roles.
in memoriam
Timaru Parents Centre was very sad to learn of the sudden death of Linda
Sandbrook-Scott. Linda worked for St John. Linda has taught many CPR
components of our Childbirth Education Classes over a number of years. She
was also very involved in teaching the first aid participation sections of our
babysitting course during the past twelve years. Our thoughts are with Linda’s
family.
