Book Distribution
On Tuesday 16 October, Rosemarie Hughes, Bob Lay and Sandi Tarant delivered the remainder of the books gathered as part of the Basic Education and Literacy month, to the Casey North Community Information & Support Services (CNCISS).
This will enable them to set up a library for children in the community.
The donation followed the initial distribution of books to the Edrington Park Child Care & Kindergarten, on Thursday 11 October.
Rosemarie has suggested that we should begin a regular collection of children's books every 2-3 months or so, for a simiar distribution.
Thanks to our Club Photographer Sandi, we are able to record the handover of the books to very appreciative recipients.
Where are they now?
PP Mark and Isobel Caulfield have just finished a 5 day walk of about 120km from Coimbra to Porto in Portugal.
It was not that inspiring, even hard and dangerous at times, as it was mainly through continuous towns and on busy paved roads with no sidewalks. They do not like cobblestones.
After one very warm day, there was a big overnight storm. Then it was rain for 1 1/2 days, so they didn’t have much fun at all.
Thankfully it wasn’t too cold or windy.
