2010 Kingston Kindy Art Exhibition

On Tuesday 30 March 2010, Amanda hosted a local Kingston Kindy art exhibition to showcase the work of some of the South's young budding artists. The exhibition was was held at the Hopgood Theatre at Noarlunga Centre and was attended by almost 100 local kindy artists and their friends and family.

Amanda would like to thank the great emerging artists for their hard work and all those who attended on the night. A great time was had by all!

 

Christies Beach Christmas Pageant

Last Christmas Amanda participated in her second Christies Beach Christmas Pageant. Amanda and her merry band of Christmas volunteers had lots of fun handing out baloons and colouring-in competitions to local kids. A great time was had and we wish you all a Happy Festive Season!

 

Southern Junction Feet on the Street

Amanda Rishworth participated in the City to Bay Fun Run as part of the Southern Junction Feet onthe Street team, raising money for disadvantaged young people and families in the Southern Suburbs.
Amanda raised over $650 by holding a barbecue at Noarlunga Bunnings and receiving many donations from the generous public. 
This money goes directly to Southern Junction Community Services, an independent not-for profit community organisation, dedicated to helping those less fortunate in the South.
Southern Junction provides a range of vital services, including housing, support, counselling and youth care.
Amanda was delighted to reach the finish line and to have contributed to such a worthy organisation in our local community. More information on Southern Junction Community Services can be found at www.southernjunction.org.au.
