Hello all!

NVAC's annual Charity Fiesta is happening this coming weekend at Jurong East MRT area! Woohoo! :)

In conjunction with that, we'll be bringing the residents to the CF venue in the morning for a free haircut by professional stylists and following them back to hold an in-house handicraft session in the afternoon.

THE OUTING
There will be 15 ambulant residents and 2 staff coming along for the outing, and we'll need at least 15 volunteers to help out. I am expecting quite a crowd at the CF venue, so it'll really be necessary to have at least one volunteer to one resident. I understand that some of us are involved in CF events (like myself) and will not be able to help out so that's where I need all of your help! Please do invite your friends to come along and help out, if possible! And seniors too..do come down and join us if you can make it.:)

If you can come down, please do confirm your attendance with Liqin or myself asap. ASAP please? :)

IN-HOUSE HANDICRAFT SESSION
Following the outing, we'll be back in mwh for a handicraft session with the residents. We'll be making some clips using pegs and clay and felt cloth--hoping to sell these items during the CF bazaar on sunday!
