PTFA GOLF DAY
MARIST MT ALBERT PTFA GOLF DAY
MARCH 3RD 2023
Golf Day Tournament – how you can help?
Not only would we like to see lots of golf played at this tournament from keen golfers through to first timers, we also have Golf Hole Sponsorships available and are looking for some prizes and items for Auction, conducted in the Clubroom at the end of the day’s play (trying to maximise that fundraising dollar).
Enter a team - $480 per team of four, or $120 per player. (Cost includes green fees, on course beverages and a post game supper)
Participating Teams in this years’ event, have the option of additional sponsorship in the form of;
- Sponsoring a Golf Tee and/or Hole - 18 Tees & 18 Holes available (opportunities from $100.00).
We offer the chance to sponsor a golf tee on the day, enabling either your company’s brand or family name to be well promoted throughout the school community during the lead up to the tournament and on the day, with your branded sign posted at the sponsored hole. - Donating a prize or service for our Auction.
Please, can you consider what you could donate or a possible contact to donate a product or service? It could include donating a professional service, leisure or sporting activity, sporting product, art, household wares or accommodation. - Donations to the PTFA Fund - all cash donations gratefully received.
Our fundraising team are happy to follow up on suggested contacts.

YUMMY STICKERS
When you reach for that delicious apple for your morning brain snack please remember to peel off the ‘Yummy’ sticker and keep it safe!
We are collecting the Yummy Fruit Company stickers from their apples, and the labels off their plastic bags, for our share of $200,000 of free sports gear. The more labels/stickers we collect the more free sports gear we get for our school! Check out all the balls we got last year!
Put your stickers on a sticker collection sheet (below) and drop them into the school office in exchange for house points!
CARITAS DONATIONS FOR TURKEY & SYRIA
Caritas Aotearoa NZ is accepting donations to help the people of south-eastern Turkey and northern Syria, seriously affected by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake and aftershocks of Monday 6 February which toppled hundreds of buildings and killed many thousands of people.
Keep the people of Turkey and Syria in your prayers as they face widespread devastation and loss of life. We're in contact with our partners on the ground as they assess the scale of the damage and critical needs at this time.
If you would like to donate, you can do so online through the Caritas Emergency Donation tab at this link: www.caritas.org.nz/donate-online (Please specify that your donation is for Turkey Earthquake)
Or donate via the Caritas bank account: 03-0518-0211216-00 (please include your first & last name and put Turkey as the code.)
Dear God,
Through dark and difficult moments, we know that You are always with us. Today we come to You in prayer to ask You to bring comfort, healing and hope to the communities that have been devastated by this disaster.
Let the people of these nations rest in the comfort of knowing that You are with them and that you will provide for their needs as You always have.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
MARIST MEALS
This year we are continuing with Marist Meals - a pastoral care initiative. These meals are provided to families in the school & parish community when a little extra support is needed (e.g. a new baby, sickness, bereavement). With the impact of covid and many of our school and parish families isolating or unwell, it would be great if we could fill up the freezer so we can help lighten the load for families during these challenging times.
If you would like to contribute, we welcome any homemade, brought meals or baking for our freezer. Meals can be dropped off to the school office.
Containers available at the school office.
