Puppets of support Spending an evening making colourful sock puppets might not be high on the priority list for some – but this simple act can make a world of difference for a local child or children dealing with problems at home. Enter Altrusa International Club of
Tauranga – a local service club which is working on building partnerships with fellow local organisations. Altrusa is inviting members of the public to join them this Tuesday night, March 28, to spend an evening making sock puppets, like
Sandra Bonney. “We include a reading book, coloured pencils and a colouring book, stickers and a toy. The bag is also handmade, which gives each child something special to keep.” Learn more about the event and Altrusa on page 10. Photo: John Borren.
