Manningham Dear readers welcome to June 2014 and the first month of winter. I hope you are all prepared for the cold months ahead. As for the month of May you would be forgiven if you thought it was spring such was the great weather we enjoyed. Another great way to keep your kids warm and active this winter is to enrol them into swimming lessons at Westerfolds Sports Centre or tennis lessons with Slamin Tennis and Fitness or Little Tackers Tennis but please do your enrolments before Term 3 starts to secure a spot for your child. In addition, Every Thursday you can enjoy a casual swim or play with your children at Westerfolds Aqua Play Mum's and Bub's sessions from 1pm to 3pm there is also a free bonus class during your Aqua Play Session. It is so important to teach your children to take good care of their teeth and a great way to do this is to get regular check-ups at the dentist. Why not contact Smile Style dental who offer a free check-up for your children , In addition another way to protect your child's teeth while they play sport is by getting a custom made mouth guard fitted by Rosanna Denture Clinic or Smile Style Dental both businesses specialise in Children's and Adult Mouth Guards. School holidays are around the corner and it's that time when we are all thinking “What can I do with my children?� One activity which is run by Youth Leadership Victoria is a holiday Care program where your children get to enjoy many different activities to help keep them busy and active, it is held at St Kevin's Primary school through the June, July school holidays. Details are on Page 7. Other entertainment over the school holidays is at the Doncaster Play house which is featuring SNOW WHITE from July 1st to July 11th, Tickets are on sale now so book early to avoid disappointment. Details are on Page 20. Every year Bullen Plaza hosts Multicultural Week and this year they will be celebrating it over 2 days Thursday 3rd July to Friday 4th July it's a free event - details are on page 21. School Holidays also a great time to go out for lunch or dinner with family and friends and you can do all of this while your children are being entertained. Here are some suggestions Shopping Town Hotel, Templestowe Hotel, Cherry Hill Tavern, The Grand Hotel and The Doncaster Hotel; all venues provide entertainment over the holidays and Kids Eat Free on certain days. I hope you all have a great month, enjoy reading our June 2014 issue.
