Friday night was a great evening out (especially being able to talk without the kids around) and it is so lovely to have good women in the group that all get along. We had the Purple House all to ourselves as it was one of their first nights trading in the evening; Good food, drink and company. Thanks everyone, including those unable to come, for making the group such a good social melting pot. Without you all there wouldn't be a group!
A few things to mention in this update firstly that this Friday (11th March) is a morning tea at The Kapiti Women's Centre (Ngahina St) from 9.30-11.30. I'll bring a bit of baking and anyone else who wants to can bring things too. As usual gold coin donation for the use of tea/coffee and the room. Children welcome.
Race Relations Day Event (Saturday 26th March) is in 2.5 weeks now. After a bit of discussion we have come up with a few activities for the day (International Party Games, Silhouette drawing and labelling in different languages, painted mural/collage of different cultural images, colours and words, compilation CD of international songs, a tape of kids singing songs in their own language).
They are promoting the event as being hosted by us, Kapiti Ethnic Forum and Kaptiti International Friendship Group so a bit of free publicity ;). There will be a Free bouncy Castle there for the kids and hopefully the activities planned will be fun for the kids and not too hard for us. The event runs from 11-2pm for the public and as it is a family event all family members are welcome.
We need everyone (as many as humanly possible that is) to come for at least an hour from 11.30am - 12.30pm. If you can give more time - FANTASTIC!! If you can come at another time to help with set up, clean up or just keeping me company then let me know.
