Arts and crafts and morning tea for women

This is the last Women's Morning Tea for 2011. NMC will resume this and other activities in early February 2012.

We would like to thank all members and supporters for their participation—Thank You.

From all of us at NMC, have a wonderful Xmas and Happy New Year.

Ikebana Demonstration at 'Springtime in the Park'

The theme was 'Springtime in the Park', hosted by Red Cross and 139 Club and held on Wednesday, 12 October 2011 at New Farm Park.

It was a very windy day, so it was rather difficult to arrange the flowers. However, the audiences enjoyed the Ikebana experience.

Kind regards,

Chieko

Volunteer picnic

NMC rewarded its valued volunteers with a picnic lunch by the beach at Shorncliffe. It was a wonderful few hours spent with new friends, the sounds of the ocean nearby, and a cool breeze.

Mental Health Week is an annual national awareness event held every year to coincide with World Mental Health Day, which is held on 10 October each year.

Mental Health Week aims to raise awareness of the importance of mental health and wellbeing in the wider community.

Local and regional Mental Health Week events organised by local groups and communities contribute to reducing the stigma associated with mental ill health and offer a platform to engage the community in dialogue regarding help-seeking behaviours and mental health promotion.
