Aussie Bush Dance – Those who have booked and placed a deposit, we need the full amount by the 1st June – no later. This is a once-a-year event targeting the mid year. We encourage members to socialise during the winter months, regardless what the occasion may be. The Aussie Bush Dance is an assortment of dances but focusing mainly on the Australian theme. We are catering with the ‘Aussie’ in mind; lamingtons, scones,etc.,

Drop In Room

The “Drop in Room” (Room number 108) has been set up. Members can call in, have a chat to others, read a book, share interests when they have nothing to do at home and looking for company. It can be used as a venue for casual sharing of interests. The room is furnished with comfortable chairs, tables and book shelves for a book, jig saw and puzzle exchange program and is available for use Monday to Friday 9:30 am Monday to Friday. A jigsaw has already been started and members can come and have their input into the puzzle. This will only be available from Monday to Friday as young children enjoy this venue at the weekends and cannot guarantee that the jigsaw will be kept in place. Feel free to add in your contribution.

Members who attended the May morning tea were delighted to see Glen Wall back on board from his holiday in Bright. “In 20 or so years’ time, our society will be a very different place. Who knows what technology will be around or what world leaders will be in power?” this is one thought in regards to establishing a TIME CAPSULE. “Over the next few months, Council is encouraging everyone to have a say on their hopes for the future, and by sharing their vision they could win prizes including an Apple iPad, a double pass to Village Cinemas or a $100 Coles/Myer Voucher. Kirsten Van Giggele from the Whittlesea Council explained to the members what this project entailed. Con Constantinou fom the Whittlesea Council invited the members to join the LEAP program for another Multicultural Movie Screening in Greek language with English subtitles. The Movie ‘Nisos 2” Greek language with English subtitles will be screening as part of Council’s LEAP program Multicultural Cinema event.Residents will be entertained by a Stage performance – Greek music by Agapi and Friends as well as a Theatrical play by Cultural Centre Paradise. A traditional Greek afternoon tea will be served. (For more information see Movies post)
