July presidents report

I hope you’re all managing to keep warm this winter. One thing I love about the cold weather is having a nice bowl of hearty soup and crusty bread. What’s your favourite thing about winter? Whilst food is on my mind, what have you got planned this winter as a family? I’m looking forward to taking my family to an upcoming City of Casey event, Winter Treats at Wilsons Botanic Park. It’s on Saturday 2nd July. There will be food trucks, children’s activities and entertainment all day. Also sweet and savoury treats to taste.

Its’s great to see so many families at Playgroup despite the cold and wet weather. The recent teddy Bear picnic seemed to be a big hit amongst the kids. CDMBA have some exciting events coming up for the whole family. To kick off the school holidays which are fast approaching we have the Family Movie Night all organised for Friday 1st July. Check out the events page for all the details. Keep an eye on the events because coming up in July and August we are planning a Parents Dinner and Snooker Night for the Dads. I hope the upcoming events are of some interest to you and your family. I would love to hear of any ideas you may have for future events. To finish off, I would love to share a poem I came across one day about “double trouble”. You may have seen it before but it’s one I love. Enjoy the month ahead!

 

DOUBLE TROUBLE

“Double Trouble” they say with glee,

“Oh what a nightmare”, “rather you than me!”

With a deep breath I smile (through gritted teeth) and listen oh so politely,

To how so-and-so’s cousin’s wife has twins, and how they do so pity me!

My twins may not be angles, my life may sometimes be hard,

But really it’s me who should pity you, for being so hard of heart.

For how can you look at those rosy checks, those eyes with cheeky gleam,

And see therein a nightmare, and now a wondrous dream.

For if one child’s a miracle; a blessing, a gift, a joy,

Then surely two’s doubly blessed, yes—even if they’re both boys!

I really am so lucky, precious first—I see them twice, And triplet parents are luckier—they get to see them thrice!

Yes my hands are well and truly full, but with cuddly balls of fun,

Who will always have a friend with whom to laugh and skip and run,

My heart is overflowing even when my patience wears thin,

And I thank my lucky stars each day that I have my precious twins.

June Presidents Report

 President’s Report Issue 6 Volume 30Page 4 June Newsletter
I hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day.It is with great honour that I accepted the nomination of Club President. If I can be half the president Angie has been over the past 3 years I will be extremely proud of my achievements.
On Thursday the 12th May we held a very successful AGM. I would like to extend a sincere thank you to all our out-going commttee. You have all been very successful in helping to grow the club to what it is today. Every one of you should be extremely proud of what you have achieved.
A warm welcome to our new committee members and a big thank you to our returning committee. You all provide a solid continuity for our committee and club. Thank you to one of our founding member for chairing the AGM. You did a fantastic job.
I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself. I, have a loving husband and 3 beautiful boys. One is 4 & ½ and my twins are 2
& ½ . I am a stay at home mum who enjoys spending time with my family & friends, baking, shopping and go-ing to musicals. I love to keep busy.
Back to business…….On the 26th April CDMBA hosted a sleep settling workshop presented by Mandy Hose. This event was very successful with 16 guests attending. It was great to see in attendance was not only parents that are going through sleep issues but also expectant par-
ents looking for ideas. I hope all those that attended found the event supportive and useful.
The committee is busy planning a fantastic family event for the June/July school holidays. We will be hosting a family movie night. Keep an eye out for details to this wonderful event. Also coming up we have our Bemersyde Drive Pie fundraiser. I sure am looking forward to getting some yummy pies again this year.
With the cold weather well and truly on its way, remember you don’t have to be stuck at home. Our Chisholm Playgroup and Young Bubs Playgroup both have indoor facilitiees. So come on down, grab and cuppa, have a chat and make the most of the rainy days! I look forward to seeing where we, as a team can take CDMBA over the next 12 months. Babe Ruth sums up the potential success of the club perfectly. “The way a team plays as a whole determines it success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don’t play together, the club won’t be worth a dime.” If we as members and committee work hard and work together we can achieve wonderful things for
CDMBA and its members.
I look forward to meetting you all at events throughout the year. Keep warm and take care.
