WYNNUM WIPEOUT RETURNS
9-14 January 2012
After a turbulent year for many, we are pleased to announce the return of Wynnum Wipeout in 2012.
We really want to thank everyone for their support last January and the trust that you put in us at a time where fears were great. With Wynnum High School essentially operating as a construction zone around us and then the flooding there was a lot of risk. I really want to thank the leaders, the supporters, the participants and the parents for making Wipeout 2011 so safe in the midst of all of it.
Wipeout returns for twenty-twelve and we can't wait to get back into it. The website has been updated and you will be able to see that all your favorite activities are returning for you to enjoy.
DONATION PROGRAM
Twenty-Twelve marks the 18th consecutive Wynnum Wipeout and every year a large number of people give their time, effort, money and experience to support the program. Every year it shows us how valuable the power of volunteers can be but also of the heart that people have for helping each other. We have a number of people and local churches that donate resources, time and money directly to the program so that it can be the success it has been since its inception in 1994.
This year we are establishing a specific donation program to assist us in covering costs. We have been running very close to the line for a few years now and it is getting harder every year to keep activities at a price that keeps it affordable for everyone.
There are many families in our community that send their kids to Wipeout for some low cost entertainment that they may never normally be able to afford and we would like to ask those out there who can afford to give a little bit more to donate to help us keep the prices as low as possibe.
The main cost we have on Wipeout is the transport. This costs around $6500 every year for the busses and fuel to get kids to and from activities. This itself is not the full cost because a lot of our Volunteer bus drivers donate the cost of fuel themselves to help us keep the costs down. Every dollar of this heart-felt giving is crucial to our program and I cannot thank enough those who are able to support the program in this way.
If you are able to give to the program to assist us in keeping prices low, or for further enquiries please contact us at wynnumwipeoout@hotmail.com
Wynnum Wipeout is run by the combined churches of the Wynnum-Manly with the support of
Scripture Union Queensland. |
