Pre-loved fundraiser a huge success
We held our pre-loved fundraiser in September and it was a huge success! We were blown away by the level of support from our village and the community when it came to collecting donations, organising the event and the day itself. We had queues waiting to come in and lots of people grabbed a bargain with our $1 clothing and toys and our well-priced baby gear. A huge thank you to everyone who made the day a roaring success. We raised much needed funds that will be going to our new playhouse and outdoor play space renovations later this year.
These monies will be added to the generous donation we received from The Ōmokoroa Centre Trust. Thank you so much for continuing to support Ōmokoroa Playcentre through your amazing grants program. Remember by shopping at The Centre you are also supporting many community organisations in Ōmokoroa including Playcentre.
Lastly, we are very excited to announce that in term 4 we will be launching an outdoor session on Tuesdays. This will focus on educating our tamariki outside in nature at some of the amazing local reserves and beaches in the peninsula. Open to existing members and welcoming enquires from members of other Playcentres and members of the public. Please email omokoroa@playcentre.org.nz. We continue to welcome visitors on Mondays and Thursdays (9am-12pm) but please contact us regarding availability on Friday mornings as we are running at capacity.
