Why do you come to the Clubhouse?

I come to the Clubhouse to hang out, learn things, get to make cool crafts, and get to use my photography skills.

What makes you proud to be a Clubhouse member?

All the cool stuff I can use like the 3D printer, Xbox, the Macs and the Cameras.

What’s your favourite thing to use at the Clubhouse?

Make paper flowers.

What’s the best thing you’ve created so far?

The best thing I’ve created is the flower I made for Annie-Lea.

What’s something new you’d like to see the Clubhouse get?

A cooking lesson so that people could bring stuff in and learn how to cook it. We could have a recipe book and people can look through it and learn how to go home and cook it for their family.
