Local author's BOOK LAUNCH invitation
Hi neighbours, You're invited to come help me celebrate the launch of my new kids' book I AM SUPER ME on Sunday 28th October in the Bays! It's a free fun afternoon from 2pm (plate for afternoon tea appreciated) - and I'll be explaining my KIWI SUPERKIDS' PROJECT too which you might like to be part of. It's to gift free copies (that I provide) to as many pre-school centres as possible so the all-important message of self-esteem, confidence and an "I CAN DO IT" attitude that will last their whole lives through, is developed in as many youngsters as possible. :-) Please text for details: 021 259 4491 Sylvia Vowless QSM. I'll also have copies of my double-Award winning adult version book 'THE MIRACLE EFFECT' available too - both are fantastic Christmas gifts!!!
