Vogelmorn Bowling Club offer up a Re-gifting party as a part of their End of Year celebrations on Sunday 12 December. 

This will be a chance to turn your children's quality unloved goods into someone's Christmas Dream. Facilitated by me, Elissa Jordan, donations are now welcome to be dropped off at either: Vogelmorn Bowling Club (93 Mornington Road, Brooklyn) or 241 Ohiro Rd, Brooklyn.

These donated gifts will then be available to purchase at the community gathering for a gold coin donation, with all proceeds donated to the Wellington Women's Refuge.

More on the Vogelmorn website or their Facebook page. Also, I'm very happy to collect donations as well if dropping off isn't possible. 

Many thanks in advance and wishing you a wonderful day. 

All the best, 

Elissa Jordan

Guiding is a place where girls can be girls and in a safe and positive environment they can:

• Learn new life skills
• Build their confidence
• Contribute to their communities
• Form friendships
• And so on

Our non-competitive learning environment is open-minded and values based. It's a supportive place to grow

confident, adventurous girls who are ready to be tomorrow's leaders.
