Well done to Lynn and her team for a brilliant community outreach through the Jetty Road Treasure Hunt last week.
Over 500 children came through our Glenelg centre to recieve a treasure (they received a Kidzone magazine, a craft kit, some information about our church and a thrift shop voucher that could be redeemed at either of our Seacombe or Ascot Park shops). The genius in the day lay behind two things. Morning tea was put on so that parents stopped and enjoyed our centre. While other shops had people come and go, we were able to engage some of these families in our church for up to 2 hours. The other genius was the vouchers that bring people back into our centres again.
Already some families have attended our Seacombe Gardens playgroup as a result of the inclusiveness, welcome and community feel that was presented. We wait with baited breathe to see how many people connect with our Glenelg playgroup also. Well done Lynn! Well done Wendy and Angela for the conceptualisation! Well done to all of our volunteers at the centre that portrayed the welcoming community we want to communicate to our neighbours!
