Christmas at Alex Volunteers
Your club is supporting the Alex CommunityAssociation with their annual "Christmas at Alex" community fair. This year it will be a bit different (surprise) so no bands and no fireworks, but there will be heaps of train rides and most importantly that man in the red suit is coming !! WhoHoo !

From Alex Community Association....
"When it proved too difficult to meet covid arrangements for our traditional concert in the park with fireworks finale (a lovely family event that we have run for the past eight years in partnership with the Alex Surf Club) we looked for some way to bring joy to the many children of Alex (and neighbouring area - it is not a restricted event).
In combination with Alex Surf Club and the Alex Rotary Club we will now host ALEX KIDS CHRISTMAS on Sunday December 13th in the afternoon in Buhk Park (between the Surf Club and the Skate Park) in hourly shifts from 2-6p.m.
Predominantly it is a chance for kids to say Hi to Santa, and to each receive a small gift from one of his elves, and to have a socially distanced photograph taken with a beach background.
People are still welcome to turn up and register at the gate, but we would prefer to know who is coming, to speed up entry. The entry gates will be managed by the experienced team from Alex Rotary Club.
Families will be encouraged to pre - book for one hour, so we can rotate the kids through Santa, and control the numbers. Normally we encourage picnicking in the park, but hope this year they will go visit some of our local businesses on the way home."
So we're still a few volunteers short for the event, let the secretary know if you can spare a few hours, but meanwhile here is the shift list:
