WE NEED YOUR HELP

We still desperately need:

• a coordinator for our Silent Auction
• volunteers to fill our 2019 Twilight Fete Rosters 

Remember to LIKE the Twilight Fete 2019 Facebook page – and invite your friends and families to LIKE us too!

THANK YOU

Thanks to all our volunteers who have put their hand up to distribute the 10,000 Fete Flyers over the school holidays. Your help is much appreciated! Thanks also to all the other families who offered to help with the flyer distribution but we had to say “Thanks but no thanks” as we had such a great response to our callout that we had many more volunteers than zones. Everyone should have received a text and if you haven’t please contact the GHPS Office to check (or you can call Nicole on 0412 706 099).

We would also like to thank Carnegie Lions Club for offering to run the Popcorn stall at the fete. What’s more, they have generously offered to donate all profits to the school.

WE WANT YOUR PHOTOS

Please send in photos of GHPS students / families standing in front of one of the various boards that will be up soon advertising our 2019 Twilight Fete to ghpsfete@gmail.com – we would love to include some of these pictures on our Twilight Fete 2019 Facebook page. Our boards will soon be popping up outside the school on Grange Road, McDonald’s Ormond, Grange Junction Café (Glen Huntly Road), Glen Eira College (Neerim Road), Bendigo Bank Ormond (Katandra Road) and outside the Dench Family home (Royal Avenue). The School would like to thank these businesses and this school family for kindly allowing us to put up our board.
