service.

TIME: 10:45am for an 11am start - approximately 30 minute service
VENUE: Vietnam Veterans Memorial, May Road, Kings Park, West Perth
PROGRAM: Dad's form up and take part in a short march through the park to the Memorial.
MAY K.V. INFO NIGHT
Kids of Veterans invited kids of veterans, veterans and their partners to attend
our first Information Evening for 2006. We had two
"Kids" speaking about their experiences as an adult and growing up with
a parent who is a veteran. We believe it was a great success and
it was really informative and empowering to metwork with other
individuals and families who have similar life experiences and can
offer some solutions. Kids of Veterans would like to repeat this
Info Night sometime down the track. Please let us know if you're
interested in coming - we'd love to see you there!
KIDS DISCUSSION GROUP
Some time ago KV floated the idea of a "Kids Only" session where we
could all feel safe and comfortable amongst each other to have a talk.
we haven't recieved much feedback (that's always welcome!)
We're proposing to meet on a Saturday, about midmorning.
It
would be held at Hollywood Hospital and in conjuction with the V.V.C.S.
Any feedback, queries or ideas are welcome!
