Please help with Name Badge workshop

Just a reminder that the workshop to make name badges for Village events will be held:

THIS Saturday 4 September, 10 am to 1 pm at 3 Clematis Walk.

We especially need a few kind volunteers to bring some morning tea. Please get in touch with Jacqui G asap by phone on 8556 6459 or email if you can help.

And to make badges: Please come along and help.  There will be various material available. You can also help with badges for other villagers who can’t come along.
  1. If anyone would like a badge made for them, please email me and we'll do it (I have some names already so no need to ask if you have asked already!)
  2. Also, we would love some more materials eg glue gun, stickers, sparkles etc etc.  Please bring along to share if you can.
  3. Morning tea will be provided - if anyone wishes to contribute by making some cake/biscuits, that'd be lovely.  Please let me know if you can help so that we don't over/under cater.
Please come along and join in the fun - great for the kids too.
 
See you then - Jacqui (for CDC)

Filing cabinet available for community use

Hi all,

I have recently had donated to myself a large 4-draw lockable filing cabinet. The person who donated it was very specific in that it was for my work (I work in a community service organisation) and not intended for personal use.
 
I do not have a need for it and thought that there might be a need within the village. I do need to stress that it must be for Village use only and not for personal use, as that is the way it was gifted to me.

If any of the committee’s within the Village would like to make use of the filing cabinet then please give me a call on 0414 513 080 and I can arrange delivery. I need to move the cabinet on by Friday 10 September.

Homeopathic First Aid course

Homoeopathy in the Home presents: Homoeopathic First Aid - LEVEL 1

Starting SUNDAY, 19 September, 12 pm - 4 pm (See ATTACHED flyer)

The focus for the course is learning how to ‘Get In First’ with Homoeopathic First Aid and Trauma Remedies, Bach’s Rescue Remedy or Herbal Tinctures. You also learn how to treat common everyday ailments using the Tissue Salts. 

Held once a week for 6 weeks, the lecture lasts for 3 hours with a break in the middle. However, I recommend that you have a good 4 hours to spare not only in case we run overtime  but also to give you the time you need to medicate remedies or socialise. While I plan to run the course weekly, I am aware that life happens, so classes can be altered to meet the majority of students' needs.

Fees: $275 (Working) or $200 (for Health Care Card Holders).  A 10% discount applies if you pay the whole of the course fee on or before day one. Payment by instalments is also available. There is a $50 Registration fee (deducted from your course fee), payable at least one week before class commences.  Students medicate and purchase only the course remedies they need, however the cost of the remedies is extra to the course fee.  Excellent notes are provided free.

If you would like to know more, call me on 0405 098 243 or email me

I look forward to working with you - Josephine Firns
