The start of a new journey!

Jane Fisher from Newtown Toastmasters

Our trip "around the world" on Wednesday certainly took us places - from communication styles and the issue of debt, to learning from Toastmasters and the question, "Who are we really?", which Athena ably answered with her Icebreaker speech.

Jeanette's "on-theme" Table Topics got us thinking about our travel preferences...some of us felt our next getaway coming on :)

Thanks to our visitors for coming along - we hope to see you again. If you've been thinking of joining us, Wednesday 24 July is the perfect opportunity - come on down to Newtown Community Centre from 7.30pm and start a new journey!

The Wellington Curtain Bank desperately needs your help. Every year it upcycles and provides over two-thousand pairs of curtains to households across the Wellington Region.

With winter finally settling in, they are dangerously low on curtains and are at risk of not being able to meet the demand for this social service.

If you have non-mouldy curtains you no longer need, please donate them to the Curtain Bank and Spark Joy knowing that you have helped to warm up another person’s home.

The Curtain Bank also desperately needs lining for these curtains. If you have white/cream or grey poplin/polyester/cotton or calico sheets in your linen cupboard please donate them to the Curtain Bank.
