Well, it has been another busy few months at the Sunnynook Community Centre. We are holding our AGM on Wednesday 11 June at 7pm and invite members of the local community to attend.  At the AGM, we will be ratifying our updated constitution, which has been an intense job to undertake. We were fortunate to receive assistance from ANCAD, which was wonderful. Our Secretary Carol has put in huge voluntary hours working through the changes to the constitution, and we thank her for her continued hard work for the Community Centre.

Local Sunnynook Community Association members have been working with the Centre Manager on ‘Emergency readiness’ and also on a ‘Recovery from the floods’ project. The Centre Manager attended an ‘Emergency Scenario Training’ which was run by Connected Neighbourhoods Trust in Hobsonville. It is great being part of a wider network of communities that will all assist each other in times of need.

On that note, we have had the privilege of hosting the Abilities Group staff for lunch on Tuesdays during May. They are a delightful group of people, and we have had many laughs and eaten way too much food. They have been overwhelmed with the support they have received from the wider community.

We will be holding some Matariki activities at the Sunnynook Community Centre throughout June and July and will advertise these on our Sunnynook Community Centre Facebook page. Our latest newsletter is on our website, as well as an invitation to attend a Pot Luck dinner at the Community Centre on Sunday 22 June.
