I belong to a small group of storytellers who call themselves the Storytelling Garden. Our head honcho is Tania Tuttleby - the gal at the end of the line who takes bookings and generally tries to keep us organised. I'm sure she would say its a bit like trying to heard a bunch of cats!For the past several years Tania and the Garden have supported the Variety Kids Xmas Party either as a financial sponsor or in kind.
Yesterday was party day. Thousands of children and families flocked to Jeff's Shed for rides, games, gifts and of course storytelling. It was exciting to meet some of our friends from the various special schools scattered around Melbourne.
Its an honour to be part of the celebrations and to tell stories to children on this special day
....and Variety is?
- Variety is a charity for children because some kids are extra special.
- Children growing up with disability, serious illness or disadvantage need help from a special charity.
- Variety gives more than a million dollars worth of goods and services a month to Australian children with special needs.
See you there in 2011
