Our guests are served morning tea and a 2-course lunch and enjoy happy company with new friends. Activities are interested and varied, eg. games, speakers, craft, music, as well as about 4 outings per year and a Christmas party. Guests are collected from their homes and delivered home by our volunteer drivers. All volunteers have police checks, organised by Leisure Time, at no cost. |

| ''I have just read through your article for the church bulletin for Dec 13, and subsequently went to the Wiki. I think it is a good way to communicate ideas for those with the technology and time to pursue it. Thanks for getting it set up. [We may need regular reminders to go to it.]<<BR>> '' ''Having read through the 4 OTWT mission areas, I am a bit concerned to see that Leisure Time does not appear anywhere. Has it fallen through the cracks or is there some action that our committee needs to take to ensure that we are linked to a missional "home" at GWUC? I feel that we need to get connected asap, so that our vision and effort is included in the whole OTWT impetus. '' ''I think that Leisure Time is primarily a Community Outreach group, even though we physically meet at the church. Only one of our guests (Wendy Pratt) is a GWUC member. We have put a lot of time and effort into linking with wider community organisations and networks this year. On the budget document sent to Church Council this week, I have indicated that we contribute to 3 areas: Outreach, Community Hub and Inclusive Community. Other than photocopying, we are self-funded however, so will not be drawing on the Church Budget. '' ''What should I do on behalf of Leisure Time? '' ''Kind regards<<BR>> Margaret Fraser'' So as a first pass, I've created this page, and offer it up for Leisure Time readers to edit as appropriate. |
