After nearly six years of searching Lifestart Hornsby has been granted a 10 year lease by Hornsby Council to take up residence in the former occassional child-care centre in Ramsay Road, Penninat Hills. With excellent access to transport and a shopping-centre location the new centre is ideally placed for Lifestart families. While activities will begin in the new centre from the beginning of Term 4, to completely make it a home the premises will have to undergo extensive renovation in some parts and a fundraising drive has already begun to assist with this. If you would like any information about the new centre or can assist in its renovations in any way, please call Area Coordinator Kerry Dominish on 0424 225 068.
A big night of fun and prizes is guaranteed at the annual Lifestart Inner West Trivia Night Prizes and auction items include tickets to some of the hottest shows in town, wine and sporting memorabilia. Details are

Fifty of the signs have been selected for their use in day-to-day life and an additional thirty have been chosen that will add to the beauty of some simple songs.
