HELLO EVERYBODY
CASINO NIGHT FUNDRAISER
Another successful Casino night was held at The Oxford Restaurant.
A total of just under $15000 was achieved which is a fantastic result! Funds will go towards the planned new playground at the Centre, which is exciting.
A big thank you to all Timaru businesses and Creative Corner families who donated towards this event, and Clarissa and Mike at the Oxford for hosting.
A massive thanks to Kate and Amy for the huge input with organising prior to the event and on the night. Also, Andy Darling, thanks so much for your ‘muscle power’ pre-during-post Casino night – very much appreciated!
SUNHATS AND SUNSCREEN
Tamariki are required to wear sunhats with the weather warming up. Please ensure they have one in their bag.
Also, any child that has an allergy to the sunscreen we use at the Centre, please remember to bring your own. Thanks.

We sadly farewell Amy Pateman, our centre manager, and Kate Burt, our centre administrator in mid October.
Amy has resigned from her role to pursue other opportunities.
Amy has been a much loved and appreciated member of the team for the past seven and a half years. We are sure you will help make her remaining time full of as much love and fun as there can be.
Amy, we wish you all the best in your future endeavours and thank you for your fantastic, friendly, and fun-loving leadership of the team.
Kate, the second half of the dynamic duo at the front desk has decided that she wants to leave with the boss!!
Kate has been with us for 10 and a half years and has seen two centre managers run Creative Corner. Kate has been offered a work from home opportunity.
Kate has been an integral part of our centre, managing the administration and front of house, and latterly the Casino night like a champ. We thank you for your service and your bubbly, fun attitude and we wish you will for your next adventure.
