JANUARY 2012 CAMPS

Planning for January 2012 camps is well underway. If you are the parent or guardian of a 9 - 12 year old children looking for a summer camp experience that's second to none please give us a call. Naturally our preference is to assist families who are doing it tough.

BIRTHS, DEATHS AND MARRIAGES

Sadly, we learned of the passing of a great camp and community-minded supporter - Kevin Dosser of Benalla. Kevin lived a full and generous life and will obviously be greatly missed.

Alex Crawford, our Operations Manager, is now on maternity leave having given birth to the beautiful Chloe Rose. Welcome to our world Chloe and congratulations to Alex and Charlie.

Erin 'Bella' Bell, our locum for Alex for 3 days a week, whilst maintaining her involvement with the Recreation team on the other 2 days, is now engaged to Travis Jack. More congratulations!
