Help Louise Rebuild her Home
Earlier this week, my dear friend Louise's house and artist studio was razed to the ground, thankfully she wasn't home but she lost EVERYTHING, except her beloved old deaf and blind dog, Kimba. Louise has been surviving off an invalid pension due to her painful rheumatoid arthritis and doing what art work she can to keep her creative spirit alive, this fire has come as a terrible blow to her as the property was, regrettably, not insured. My friend Louise has always given of herself to help others. She has ridden a postie bike from Brisbane to Darwin collecting money for underprivileged children in Cambodia. Only a couple of years ago, she arranged for a collective of women to work at her home and we all prepared birthing kits for Cambodian women so their birthing experience would be a safe and hygienic one. Louise has always given so much of herself to others so now l am asking her friends and mine and the greater community, please support Louise to get back on her feet.
As Louise has lost EVERYTHING, we are asking you do donate what you can as Louise has to start again from scratch to rebuild her home and her life, not an easy task for anyone to do.
Thank you to everyone for your generosity, good wishes and love, Louise is overwhelmed and humbled.

Pokémon Event
Hi Everyone,
Earlier I posted about a catch up for kids who would like to be involved or have some ideas for a Pokémon event at the Newlands Community House on Saturday 21 October at 2.30-4.30pm.
The date and time I suggested clashes with the grand final! So let's make it the next day, Sunday 1 October at 3pm, Cox Reserve.
Hope to see some families there! Equally looking forward to seeing kids and their families at the event on Saturday 21 October. Kids, please bring an adult with you.
Cheers, Kirsty 0431 609 586.

Hello all,

Donations Appreciated
Donations appreciated.
Hi Newlanders,
I am working with a 16 y.o. young man with profound autism and a range of other disabling factors. The organisation I’m working with has developed a sensory room for him, but the NDIS has only stretched so far….
So, his wonderful O.T. has suggested we look for the following donations of arty /crafty stuff…
Chalk, paints, beads, fabric, pipe-cleaners, sequins, glue, scented candles (not to be lit), or other scented stuff, relaxation CDs (not speaking or guided mediation stuff, just the tunes), foam shaped items – the sort of thing that if it is thrown at you, it wont hurt!
Also, he may benefit from a hammock to sling up for calming, rhythmic movement.
If you are spring cleaning and have spare art stuff, please drop it off at 30 Ballard Ave Coburg North. We don’t have much space for storage, so if donations could please stay within the above suggestions, that is, he doesn’t need clothes or household items.
Thanks heaps in advance, Gigi.
Lost Chook
Our happy chook Caramel went missing on Sunday. We think the big wind blew the side gate open then shut. If you see her around Julius Street at the Outlook Rd (basketball stadium) end please call Cate on 0400 831 552.
Recommendation

Kid Wrangling 101
Hey there neighbours. I've just launched a new online resource for parents. Check it out and let me know what you think.
When you look for resources on parenting, you’ll find plenty of advice on caring for your kids.
Sometimes, you might find some support for your emotional health as a parent.
But rarely, if ever, does anyone talk about the practical basics of physically handling your kids and the daily demands of parenting.
I’m Michael Cann, a Feldenkrais Practitioner and movement teacher. I’m also a proud father of two beautiful kids.
At Kid Wrangling 101, I combine my love of parenting with years of experience helping people overcome long-term pain problems by moving better.
All too often I work with people who started getting pain during pregnancy or in the early years of parenting. Decades later, they come to me wondering why their problems have gotten worse rather than better.
I don’t want that to be you, so I created Kid Wrangling 101 to share what I know about looking after yourself while taking care of your kids.
Visit Kid Wrangling 101 here: www.kidwrangling101.com
Wanted
Fun & engaging Dance classes for children?
I am looking for an enigmatic dance teacher who would like to or who already does teach creative dance to 7-10 year olds. I am looking for a movement class with a bit less structure, I don’t mind the classics, jazz, ballet or tap dance involved but I would like it to be creative and fun with a possible performance at the end of the term/year where they have choreographed with the help of their mindful teacher to give them something to aspire to.
If somebody knows of this elusive class or teacher, preferably in the Newlands, Preston, Coburg or Reservoir area could they please inform me? Or if you are a teacher with these skills and are looking for a class, we could probably drum up a few students to start off with. Even if you are a student of dance and are looking for some income and was thinking about starting a class, maybe now’s the time!
Am looking to start kids in next term if these classes become available.
Please call/text Jo on 0432 361 038 with any information please.

Stop Adani Action
There will be a national day of action to Stop Adani on Saturday October 7th. ACF and STOP ADANI are organising a big event at Princess Park 1-3pm.
To quote the event page: "Bring your family and friends (dogs welcome) and a picnic for a fun, festival event. There will be face-painting, music and lots of fun activities as well as a giant human sign you can be part of! Together, we can stop this mine and create a better world, powered by clean energy, where our reefs and communities thrive.”
Our newly formed local group (Newlands Climate Action) will aim to meet and picnic together as a group at this event - meeting spot will be Princess Park at the end of Pigdon St (easy walk from Lygon St tram) at 12 noon… if you arrive later and want to find us text Nina (0400 123 336) or Danny (0413 272 614). Bring a picnic rug and some food to share if you can manage it 😀
If you’d like to join our Facebook group go here, or email list mail nina.roberts25@gmail.com
