Christchurch City
Council Swim Teachers Fundraise for WABC 2007
It’s exciting to hear
what’s happening around New Zealand as some
people are going to extraordinary lengths to
make sure they will be in Wellington for the
World Aquatic Babies Congress 2007.
Melissa Parker, Swimsmart
Coordinator at Pioneer & Centennial Leisure
Centre’s tells us:
“When I first heard
that WABC was coming to Wellington I thought
what an amazing opportunity to attend this once
in a lifetime experience. I also mentioned this
great conference to my staff to see if anyone
was interested in attending as well. Six staff
approached me in 2006 to say they wanted to
attend. Unfortunately my budget doesn’t stretch
for all of us to attend so we decided to start
fundraising!”
“We have been involved
in plenty of different activities and have even
got the whole swim school behind us as parents
see the value in our swim instructors
attending!”
Some of our other
fundraising has included:
-
Raffles – with a
significant number of prizes donated by
parents!
-
Sausage Sizzles,
which are a great fundraiser. We have a big
facility and it is extremely popular
especially on Friday nights.
-
We have also had
pub fundraisers where people can buy tickets
to a private function for $5 and receive cheap
drinks for 5 hours.
-
Our latest
fundraising activity was held in conjunction
with the Canterbury Model Railway. We sold tickets to ride the trains
and of course this got the whole swim school involved!
Our main aim is to pay
for everyone’s conference costs. At the moment
we are just over half way!
We’re definitely on our
way. See you in October!!
