FRANS family christmas party

 

With the festive season fast approaching, FRANS has lined up a fantastic Christmas Celebration for FRANS families and supporters. Guest starring at Croydon Park public school (Beresford Ave, Croydon Park) will be a face painter, clown, the Ashfield Fire Brigade, and the man of the moment himself, Santa Claus!

There will also be a jumping castle, and plenty of food and drink to go around, so cancel all appointments on Saturday December 13, from 11am-3pm, and join us for a fantastic day!

Please call Matt Spanko on p) 9797 5310 to rsvp, or if you would like to learn more.
