Welcome to Term 4, 2008

In an effort to spread our message more effectively, (as it appears many people do not read their “e-newsletter”) we have both emailed and posted your newsletter to you. Please pass the hardcopy on to anyone who has not yet discovered the joys of being associated with our Centre.

It’s Christmas time yet again. Join in one of our special Christmas classes, and also pencil the Christmas High Tea, Wednesday 26th November, 12.30 - 2.30pm into your diary. Join us at the centre as we celebrate the end of our 30th birthday year with lots of yummy finger food and fine coffee. Just bring yourselves and a plate to share. We will of course be raffling a giant hamper of Christmas goodies on the day. Note: no crèche available for this event.

Due to popular demand, the Vegetarian Luncheons, Tuesday 28 October and 25th November 12 - 12.45pm Gold Coin Donation - Members Only Event will again be held in Term 4. Thanks to Delphi for being the driving force behind this initiative and also volunteering to cook. Would anybody like to help out with the catering this term?? Please contact Lindsay. Also, please confirm with Lindsay if you will be attending the luncheons (so we can supply enough food!)

To assist with fundraising we will be holding our annual MEGA GARAGE SALE, Sunday 19th October 8am - 12 noon. Please bring your donations of preloved treasures to the Centre in the first week of Term 4 so that they can be sorted and priced. NO FURNITURE PLEASE. Thank you, this is an opportunity to de-clutter your house and help us with much needed funds. Would anyone like to coordinate a cake stall to be held in conjunction with the garage sale??

Lotterywest Grant!
Your hardworking committee has agreed to apply for a Lotterywest Grant to enable a history of the Learning Centre 1978-2008 to be compiled. One of our past members, Jean Chetkovich, has offered to do this for us. (Jean is currently the Director of the Centre for Western Australian History). We need a small working group of volunteer members to discuss ideas, make recommendations etc... PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS OPPORTUNITY SLIP BY!! Please contact Lindsay in the office if you are interested in helping with this important project.

To bring in the New Year we look forward to having a new look newsletter in 2009. If anyone has any ideas of new items to be incorporated in the newsletter please contact Lindsay. We wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Have a great term!

Enrolment Day for Term 4 new members Monday 13th October, 10.30am - 1.30pm

The Centre is open normally for enrolments or enquiries Tues to Thurs 10.30am - 1.30pm, during the school term.

As per usual, enrolments can be made in person on enrolment day, or by phone once the office is open. Mail enrolments are also accepted (mail is collected during the holidays), or send Lindsay an email (mlnlc@ bigpond.net.au), making sure you are clear which courses you wish to enrol in and whether or not you require crèche (name and ages of children please). Payment would be appreciated by the end of the first week of term.

We would like to remind our new members that the centre is not open during the school holidays. Postal enrolments are very welcome and we suggest no cash by post other than crossed cheques.

Out of courtesy to our volunteer teachers we need all enrolments in by the first week so that we are able to inform them if the class will run, and numbers they are to prepare for.

In summary, enrolments can be made by:
* mail during the holidays;
* in person or by phone on Enrolment Day, Monday 13th October; or
* during term Tuesday to Thursday, 10.30am - 1.30pm.

Existing members
* Remember that you need to enroll formally in the office and note that all fees are payable in full at the first lesson.
* No re-enrolments will be taken until all outstanding monies have been paid. (NB: This action has become necessary as a first step to address our cash flow issues).
