You are invited to a morning tea in acknowledgement of Margaret H. and her dedication to the Creative Nest. 11am in the lounge at Papanui, on Tuesday 13th May.
Savouries and cakes provided; the coffee machine will be in full swing.
A chance for us to gather and acknowledge Margaret and her efforts in overseeing the Creative Nest space over the years. Margaret has since finished in this role, but she remains connected to some of the groups that use the Nest space. Margaret has long been a key figure in helping establish the Creative Nest as a community connection point for creatives in our community. As she redirects her energy towards her own creative expression, we wish to gather for a simple morning tea to honour her efforts.
May/June Birthday Celebration: We are wondering if there is someone who would like to host this. The date and time are up to the host. We will give you the list of people who have birthdays and have shown a desire to attend a celebration.
So far this year, there have been lovely occasions, either an evening meal or a lunchtime one, so entirely up to the host. Please see Kath or Lesley if you feel this is something you would like to do. Our thanks. Kath and Lesley
