Congratulations Serpentine Playgroup!!
Serpentine Playgroup is a wonderful example of a playgroup meeting a need in its community. At the end of last year it launched the Serpentine Playgroup Toy and Book Library after 18 months of planning. All toys and books are new and the toy library is open to the whole district (you don't need to be a member of the playgroup) during school terms at Serpentine Memorial Hall, 10am-noon. Two days after the toy and book library launch the playgroup's Joanne Doolan and Sharon Lister joined Rev Sue Allen at a night they organised for communities affected by the floods. 350 locals from the East Loddon area came for a night of food, music, comedy and children's activies. Well done Serpentine Playgroup. Enquiries about the Serpentine Playgroup Toy and Book Library to Natalie Ros on 543 68 369, Joanne Doolan on 543 684 50 or Sharon Lister on 543 66 244. See more on Facebook.
