A big thank you to the people that supported our fundraising event on the 19th November. Although the crowd was small – those that attended enjoyed themselves. A huge thank you to all the businesses that donated items for the auction and have given generous donations towards our vehicle. We intend to continue with fundraising in the New Year. If you have any ideas for fundraising or would like to help please give Wendy a call on 3069701. Donations can still be made at Wharekaka or posted to PO Box 127 Martinborough.
December is a busy month at Wharekaka. We have a book fair on 8th December and White-hot Jewellery display on 16th December. Both these events start at 11.00am in the dayroom and a good chance to get some Christmas shopping done. All welcome.
We are lucky to have Cherry, Vicki and Elizabeth coming in to give a concert on the 12th December 2011 at 3.30pm. All welcome. A gold coin donation towards our fundraising for the vehicle will get you entry into this event to listen to members of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and our own villa resident entertaining you for the afternoon.
Residents enjoyed lunch at Apache Jacks. We are going to be making a scarecrow for the strawberry patch.
The Martinborough Kindergarten children are coming in to help the resident’s make Christmas decorations.
Is there some people in the community that would like to join us to knit with our residents once a month? Also, people to play cards – especially 500? If you can help please give Wendy a call on 3069701.
The annual residents and family BBQ will be held on Sunday 4th December. We look forward to catching up with resident’s family. Hopefully the weather will be kind to us and we will be able to enjoy sitting outside in the garden.
