PNO – Parents Night Out @ The Greenhouse
Nov 18 @ 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm
PNO - Parents Night Out @ The Greenhouse | Bokarina | Queensland | Australia

Got kids? Need a break? If you answered ‘yes’ to those questions, then PNO is for you!

Each term we give parents a much needed evening off by being the baby sitters. We’ll take care of the kids while you have some time off to enjoy… whatever you feel like enjoying.

Our group of volunteers are all current Blue Card holders for working with children and will keep your ‘younguns’ entertained and fed for 4 whole hours! There’s games, craft, a movie (which is age appropriate) and stacks more. Some of our regular children enjoy it so much they call it KNO for Kids Night Out.

Numbers are limited, so if you’re interested, make sure you register by emailing the KawanaLife ‘Communication & Information Team’, ie our office.

KKs @ The Greenhouse
Feb 8 @ 10:00 am – 2:00 pm

Our first KKs for 2018! Come along to the Greenhouse at 10am to find out what KKs is about, and to see some highlights from 2017. BYO lunch.

KKs is a fellowship group open to anyone who is free on the second Thursday of each month. If you’re looking for fellowship, outings, a caring group, and just generally getting to know others from KawanaLife better in a more relaxed and carefree manner, come along to KKs. Because it is mainly seniors who are free on a week day the group mainly comprises that age group, but you can be part of KKs no matter what your age is.

We enjoy a whole range of activities – outings, picnics, short walks, venues of interest, etc. KKs event usually involve a BYO morning tea and/or lunch, and a short devotion. Most outings are cost-free.

For more information contact the office, or talk to Del Pattemore.
