Our visit to Southern Cross Care on Friday 14 June was excellent. Our Disney Show included seven performances with a range of dances, plays and comedies. The delighted looks on some of the residents faces made for the magic that would have made Walt Disney proud. Everyone, young and old, enjoyed the interaction with the Disney Quiz designed by Isabelle Gibb. Well done to Mini Vinnies for your teamwork and your sharing of the gift of joy.

Our next Mini Vinnies Meeting will be Thursday, 27 June. The SVdP Night Patrol Van will be visiting to show us the van and tell us about what they do. Your donations for the SVdP Winter Clothing Appeal and Winter Woollies will be given to the Night Patrol Van.

Thank you very much to all families who were able to donate items towards the SVdP Winter Clothing Appeal and Winter Woollies. The second hand clothing either directly helps struggling families and individuals or is distributed to the Vinnies Stores to help generate revenue for St Vincent de Paul’s work within the community. The SVdP Night Patrol Van has been operating in Canberra region since 2001 and provides a mobile outreach service almost every day of the year for people experiencing homelessness. The Night Patrol teams are made up of enthusiastic and compassionate volunteers from within the community who offer light refreshments and essential material items.

Seasons for Growth

The first session for Seasons for Growth will be this Friday, 28 June 2019.
