VERY SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

I am very happy to announce we have an official committee for Rainbow Land Play Time. The committee members are:

Allison Dix
Helen Howson
Simone Rister
Frances Willson
Melanie Heaney

All these wonderful ladies bring their own unique talents to the committee aside from the fact they are wonderful and dedicated individuals who really care about the Rainbow Land Play Time's future and having much needed services for families living with autism in the community.

We are yet to hold our first meeting, however, this will be soon depending on everyone's busy schedules. There is a lot for us to discuss and make decisons on, however, we will be sure to keep everyone informed.I have to say that the announcement of the committee is a great relief to me because these fabulous women will bring much more to the group than I could ever bring on my own.

I wish to thank them for their support over the past 5 wonderful months that we have been holding the playgroup as well as to all the families who are a part of our group and everyone else who supports us.

I would also like to specifically thank both Shelley & Ian Craig for doing such a wonderful job in helping me get the playgroup off the ground.

HAPPY RAINBOWS :-)♥ Allison

P.S. The fundraising / official opening dinner is now likely to be held early next year. I have finally received a response back from Sfera's about hosting it for us and so now at least I have something I can take to the committee to discuss. xxx

Yesterday was a fantastic day at playgroup. We had another 2 new families join us, which was wonderful. The children had a fantastic time riding around on the new wicked little bikes that have been purchased by the City of Tea Tree Gully for the group to use. It was so much fun.In total, we had 5 families attend with 9 children. Helen Howson & I will be presenting to the City of Tea Tree Gully Council this coming Tuesday in relation to the Federal Disability Parking Scheme review. If you are interested, you are more than welcome to attend the meeting in support of this initiative. I will be sending everyone a message with more information.

Today we all had a wonderful time at Rainbow Land and we welcomed two new families. The children had fun in and outside. There was lots of activity in the sand pit, on the springy seesaw and inside with the bikes and little blow up ball pit.

The parents weren't without a good time. We had a good chat about public services for our children while drinking a nice cup of coffee.We had five families attend today with a total of 11 children.

Happy birthday for tomorrow Ebony and to Chloe for last week. We will be having a little b'day party for Ebony & Chloe in two week's time.Thanks Helen for taking such beautiful photos of the kids today.

You are such a sweetheart.

Allison
