- Welcome to Robyn Bishop, our new Receptionist/Office
Assistant each weekday morning except Friday (Jill's
day). Her scouting background and friendly enthusiasm
make her a valued member of the Mission Afloat team
already!
- Welcome aboard, also, to Ted Costello, in charge of
our big boats. Ted comes from WA, loaded with sailing
qualifications, expertise and good humour!
- And another warm welcome to local artist, Sue Miller
- watch out for artwork options on your next camp!
- Kate Visagie is our very newest volunteer and
considerably gifted in all areas of boating and student
management!
- Thank you to Esther and Frank Sainsbury who have
kindly donated a microwave oven to Mission Afloat: a
necessity when the pressure's on at lunch time!
- On Friday, 20 August, we hosted a BBQ lunch for the
Kingborough Ministers' Fraternal.
- Our second birthday festivities on 22 August were
great fun: a 'nautical' service in the Chapel (yes, of
course we sang Will your anchor hold …!) followed by
a sumptuous afternoon tea in the Centre, with mulled
wine!
- Just in time for the spring growth around Monty
Park... all mowers are now repaired! Work continues: the
Chapel is being painted, and thanks, Charlie Lucas, for
the gutters! The maypole is ready for action, with plenty
of soft-fall and a safety 'chute' for waiting children.
This is a favourite activity among the school groups, and
the source of much delighted squealing!
- A Safe Ministries Seminar will be held on Saturday,
18 September at St Clements, Kingston,
from 10 - 3pm. This is the first step in the
accreditation process which is mandatory for staff who
work with children at Mission Afloat. Contact Jill Martin
(6229 4796) for more details.
- Thank you to Wendy Hey who has sewn some bright new
banners for the entrance to the property! They add a
welcoming splash of colour.
