PVHBBN CHRISTMAS PARTY ~ 4th DECEMBER 2008

Please join us for Christmas lunch and our very last meeting for 2008

We are celebrating another year of business with a fantastic Christmas lunch to celebrate our hard work and network friendships. Don't forget to dress in something Christmassy..
Our Penrith City Mayor Jim Aitken OAM will be in attendance and will briefly talk about the importance of small business to the Penrith area.
ENTERTAINMENT: The Clown Company will be in full dress and will also be doing balloon sculpting from 11am to 12.30pm, so if you want a poodle or rose don't miss out on this very special event. We may even have a guest surprise singer (still to be confirmed) and of course lots of Christmas Carols to listen and sing too...
PVHBBN Executive will also hand over the donations that we have collected over the past meetings to Barnardos, so please if you can, bring something (a small toy or cash donation) to give if you haven't already...
Seats are limited, we have 40 confirmed guests, and therefore bookings are essential and are reserved on a first in best dressed basis.

CHRISTMAS APPEAL ~ a time for giving

Please support us in collecting toys for Christmas for the children of Barnardos. We are focusing on children between the ages of 5-12 years old. Simply bring the present to the Christmas party. If you are unable to attend a meeting, please call the committee on 0416 958 863 and we can arrange a pick up.

The toys will be presented to Barnardos at our Christmas Lunch on the 4th December (click here to view details)

Barnardos is Australia’s leading child welfare agency. Through a diverse range of integrated welfare programs and services Barnardos is committed to helping protect the lives of thousands of Australia's children and young people who suffer the traumas of neglect and abuse and the humiliation of poverty and homelessness. Most of these children are innocent victims of desperate and dire situations.
