THE Mothers Union of Saint Augustine’s has been active in the formation of a Tots and Toddlers group at Palmwoods.

The Mothers Union recently held a ‘picnic in the park’ meeting which was attended by young mothers, their infants and toddlers. They enjoyed interacting in a friendly, safe environment.

It was such a success that the young parents decided to get together more often and ao the Tots and Toddlers Group was born.

The group meets at St Augustine’s Church hall every Tuesday morning from 9.30am to 11am. All tiny tots and toddlers, with a parent in tow of course, will be made welcome.

Some of the library volunteers who had never visited Palmwoods Sundale before were taken on a grand tour of the hostel and resident homes.

Woombye library convenor Elaine Aston congratulated the Sundale residents on their library that is now up and running successfully. Mrs Aston also thanked Sundale residents for the hospitality extended to the library volunteers. She promised that the Woombye Community Library would be willing to assist them again in the future.
