Move Your Kids’ Butts Interactive Book ~ This book promises to be a fun and active guide to anyone who wants to help and assist their children or students age 6-11 and prepare them for a positive and happy adolescence and adulthood.

Good health is vital for a long and healthy life. Too many teenagers are becoming obese, having heart attacks and suffer from low self esteem. 

“It’s worrying that in this new age of nutrition and technology that this can happen!,” says author, qualified gym instructor and Personal Trainer, Sharon Beer-Korver.

“Let’s do something to combat this together, get started today!”

Part proceeds donated from every book (shop online at www.moveyourkidsbutts.com.au) will go to Conductive Education Centre of Western Australia (www.conductiveedwa.com.au) as well as Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation, Perth, Australia, and will help the author achieve a goal to support these organisations and the children of our future!

Ask yourself ~ What future do we as parents, teachers and fitness instructors want to create in the children of today….. the adults of our future?

- Is your child spending too much time at the tv, computer or on the couch?
- Is your child obese, overweight or a diabetes candidate?
- Does your child have a good mentality towards healthy eating and staying fit?
- Do you want to have fun with your kids as well as get fit?
- Does your child suffer from low self esteem and lack of confidence when doing sport?
- Are you confident that your child/children are growing up to be healthy, happy, confident and are able to contribute to society in a positive way?

If you have answered yes to any of these questions as well as a few no’s you need “Move Your Kids’ Butts” to help your child/children and yourselves to a happier healthier lifestyle!

Dinner for Dreams - 16 APRIL 2011 - Flyer

We are very excited to announce that tickets are now on sale for the 2011 Dinner for Dreams. Early bird ticket prices available. Get in early to avoid disappointment! Please see flyer for all information.

We are now seeking the support of the community to help to make the next Dinner for Dreams a success. We raised in excess of $70,000 at the Dinner for Dreams in March 2010, thanks to the generosity of businesses and individuals that donated towards the event, and thanks to the hard work of lots of volunteers.

How can you help? DONATIONS DONATIONS DONATIONS! Are you able to donate something towards the event? Do you have a friend or family member who may be able to donate something? Any item, big or small, gratefully received. We would really appreciate it if you could ask anyone that you think may be able to assist us with a donation. We accept money, products or gift vouchers. Please call Linda Pierce on 0439 951 972 or email lpierce@live.com.au if you are able to assist.

To individuals:
Those of you at the last two dinner auctions would understand that all donations are put to very good use, so even if you are only able to donate a small item, it is often made into something beautiful to auction. This year we are asking if families would consider donating a bottle of wine or a toy(new). We will bundle these items together to create beautiful hampers! If you are able to contribute, please email or call Linda Pierce.

To businesses:
Plenty of promotional opportunities available at the event, and 550 guests expected to attend The Dinner for Dreams in 2011. We would love to have your business represented at the Dinner for Dreams.

VOLUNTEERS: We are always looking for new faces to join our Dare to Dream team. Get in touch with me if you would like to join our group that works hard to raise funds to help to ensure the continuity and growth of CE services in WA.
Thanks everyone!
