Cat Found

MISSING WHITE CAT FOUND

Hi Newlands Community!

It's Kylie here from The Sunset Tree Furniture- the recycled timber 
furniture place. We're fairly new to the area but I really need your help!

This morning we found a cat in our back courtyard at 74 Newlands Rd 
Coburg North and she's had babies! She's white but I couldn't get a good 
look at her because she bolted off in a panic. Please help us find her 
home! If you hear of or see a missing cat sign around please call or 
text me anytime with the details. I've contacted the RSPCA and left my 
details, have door knocked some locals and will continue to door knock 
today. Please share on Facebook for us.

House Fire

Hi Newlanders,

I am sorry to have to report some disturbing news.

There was a house fire this morning in Boyne St, and I spoke with the house owner this evening and she said that the fire brigade and police believe the fire was deliberately lit. They think someone walked down their driveway this morning around 7.30 and lit a fire in or near their shed.

So besides burglaries maybe we should be a little more observant around who is walking in and out of our properties. I haven't heard of this kind of thing occurring before, and hopefully it's a on-off incident.

Hope everyone's weekend is  a good one.

Wellbeing

Hi All,

Rachael from SELF:  Meditation, Mindfulness and Counselling here.

I would really like to develop connections with other health and wellbeing practitioners in the Newlands area, with the view to maybe collaborating/supporting each other and maybe running wellbeing days/afternoons in Newlands.

So if you are a health/wellbeing practitioner or have plans to be I would like to invite you round for a cup of tea at my place (if a few people brought something to share that would be great).

When: March the 13^th at 11am

Where: 13 Meadow Street Coburg.

RSVP: please let me know if you can make it by March 11^th.

I run a meditation class from 9.30-10.30 on that day at my place so if you have been thinking of coming along you can get two things done at once...

If you are unable to make it along but are interested in forming connections and networks with other newlander practitioners please get in touch or drop round some time.

Looking forward to meeting with you all.

Stolen

My child's balance bike was stolen from our front porch in Grey Court last week. We found the helmet (which was with the bike) dumped in the front garden of a house nearby.

If you've seen anyone mucking around with a small red balance bike (see photo), or you have noticed it dumped anywhere, we'd be very grateful to hear from you. It has great sentimental value for us, being my daughter's first bike.

Many thanks,

Sophie.

Dental Rescue Day

Dental Rescue Day

Some of us will either have been in dental pain before, or knows of someone who has been in dental pain. Another long weekend is coming, and the team at CHOC would like to help some of the local residents in dental pain to have a pain free weekend with their families.

On Monday 2nd March 2015, CHOC will open its doors to see adults and children to treat 1 tooth per patient on a no appointment, first come first served basis between 9am and 5pm. Dental screening appointments will commence at 8.30AM to assess suitability.

Whilst we will not be charging a fee, patients are more than welcome to make a voluntary donation of any amount going towards Animals Australia.

The terms and conditions are:

1. You must hold a current Pension Card or Healthcare Card and present it on the day including proof of photo ID.

2. Treatment is limited to 1 tooth per person, and for a simple extraction or filling only. (For example, no sedation, root canals or impacted wisdom teeth)

Help us spread the word, so it might help someone in need that you might know :)

Hello, my name's David, I live in Coburg, am 25 years old, studying a Masters of Primary Teaching at Melbourne Uni. 

I'd like to offer my services as a babysitter to anyone who needs it :) I love hanging out with kids, inventing games, doing crafty things, playing music and making yummy food. Not heaps into watching TV, would prefer to be doing more active things. I am energetic, friendly and kind. I play guitar, sing and have dabbled with playing drums. 

My number is 0424 556 531, email davidwh.boston@gmail.com. Contact me if you have kids who need looking after. My rates are $20 an hour, but am happy to negotiate if you are unwaged/not very well off at the moment.
