As per usual, I would like to start off this Breakfast Club newsletter with an apology, as there has been a delay in sending this to our database! As you will read in the newsletter we have been extremely busy and couldn’t be more ecstatic about this. It is also encouraging to see that our Breakfast Club Facebook page 1142 likes. A big thanks to everyone for your incredible support!
Good As Gold
Nominator Jenny Alison writes: “Steve is a retired policeman, who is still serving the community by voluntarily supporting at least four low decile schools in East and South Auckland. His aim? To remove any obstacles that prevent kids from succeeding.
Christmas Store
This Christmas, on the 23rd of December 2015 we are creating a Christmas Store (last Christmas we fed 600 at our Christmas Banquet but we are too large to continue with Banquets)
October Update
October was a great month for Breakfast Club… we had two phone calls from Foodbanks that we support, saying that they were both out of rice and one of them needed cereal.
100 Hams For Christmas
On the 23rd of December 2015 we are turning the Glen Innes School Hall into a Mini New World and having the Social Workers at our 5 schools invite up to 100 families to come and be blessed with food from Christmas Box Hampers; Hubbard’s Cereal; New World Eastridge Grocers and Hams; Gatting’s Caterers Dessert Hampers.
Sports Academy
Most of our activities are happening in the area of Sports… and we are blessed to have BLK Sport, Shoe Clinic and the two Rotarys (Auckland East and Epsom) on board. Both of the boys at St Kentigern’s College are fully kitted out with running shoes, rugby boots and training gear from our sponsors… and of course food from New World Eastridge.
Ten Days of Shock n Awe
Just prior to Christmas we received a $15,000 donation from someone that wished to remain anonymous… and that kind of started the ball rolling in Christmas and then this happened.
2014 Christmas Banquet at Glen Innes School
When we came up with the idea of putting on a Christmas Banquet for 600 … we had no idea how we could find about $9,000 to fund it when this happened …
October Updates
When we started Breakfast Club at Randwick Park School in 2010 we wanted to make a difference and to do this we knew we needed to do things in a different way.
2014 Christmas Banquet
Due to demand from our two new schools (St. Pius X and Glen Taylor) we will be having lunch as well as the dinner, catering for over 600 children and adults.
