The Wonthaggi Neighbourhood Centre has been rocked by the most unexpected passing of our Centre Manager Iain Ritchie early last week. He will be greatly missed and our condolences and sympathies go out to his partner, family and friends. So bear with us for awhile as we adjust to this. We remain open for you to take part in our friendly, stimulating and enjoyable groups and activities.
We like making these things available to you and feel that you may like to be a part of our centre here at Mitchell House on Murray Street, next to Apex House. Have you been enjoying our activities and being part of our groups over the year(s)? Met our lovely volunteers and want to be part of this great community centre? Then read on ….
Volunteer Opportunities:
Wonthaggi Neighbourhood Centre relies on a team of volunteers to carry out a number of tasks including, working on the front desk answering phones, providing customer service and general office duties. We have day shifts available for 9.30 am - 4.00pm or half day shifts if that is more suitable. Come along and join a great team and gain experience working in your local community, it looks great on the resume! Call, drop in, or visit our website and follow the link to 'volunteer-with-us'. Complete the online volunteer application form and we will be in touch with you.
Our Chatty Café is on again on Tuesday the 2nd of August, starting at 10.30am, finishing at 11.30am. Come one, come all! And have a chat! (If you want, come and chat about becoming a volunteer. Hmm?)
Schools are back and so are our Yoga and Meditation classes. Check out these fine activities:
Mind and body meld in the form of a wholistic yoga experience with Linda on Tuesday mornings, 10.30 to 11.45am.
Seated Yoga for those of you who may have difficulty in accessing yoga in all its ups and downs on the mats. Maree looks forward to taking you through a yoga work out on Thursdays 2 to 3.15pm. Ring us to enrol and obtain forms for both classes. And lastly, to be more resilient with all the stresses and strains that seem to keep piling up on us, come along to Marion’s Meditation group on Tuesdays 2 to 3.30pm.
Now that third term has started, it may be pertinent to those of you who are looking for preschool care for your child and have a health care card or equivalent, that we have our free Monday and Friday supported playgroups provided by Bass Coast Health. Cath is the facilitator on Mondays and you can ring her on 0427 729 695 to enrol your child. Janine is on Fridays and her number is: 0457 834 960. Enjoy activities you and your child can do together and there is a ‘Small Talk’ program which also includes information on children’s development and learning stages which is most helpful and reassuring.
The AA Support group meets on Thursdays, 4.30 to 6pm and Saturdays, 11am to 1pm. A good fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other to help solve their common problem and help others achieve sobriety. Call Teri on 0416 866 699 for the Thursday group and for Saturdays call Steve on 0431 700 085
Al-Anon helps family and friends of alcoholics to recover from the effects of living with a person whose drinking is a problem. Now they meet on Fridays 10.30am to 12noon. Call Karen on 0409 354 038
Come join us as a volunteer or a member. Here is the opportunity to get discounts to activities and our ‘The Grapevine’ newsletter. Call Mitchell House on 5672 3731 for more info and keep up to date on our Facebook page Wonthaggi Neighbourhood Centre at Mitchell House. Cheers.
