Dear Friends

The Fete is over! Thank you so much for your donations of goods, time and effort. We had more volunteers than ever and despite the cool day had a great financial result (see page 3 for photos and totals). We also had the fastest ever cleanup with everyone, including the finance team, on their way home by 3 pm! All fete volunteers are invited to Volunteers’ Lunch on Wednesday 4 June at 1 pm. We’ll be serving up a barbecue lunch followed by apple strudel to thank everyone. Over lunch we will review the Fete and listen to ideas for future fundraising. RSVP please.

Birthday lunch is 12pm Thursday 12th June. It looks like it will be a right royal celebration! RSVP.

Lunch and Learning has been difficult to organise this year because of public holidays and other circumstances. Hopefully we will be more consistent as the year goes on. On Thursday 26 June at 12.30 pm the topic is ‘Virtual Wellness Sessions’. Please come along to hear about this way of providing wellness sessions to you via the internet. You can attend in person or join via a Zoom link. If none of this makes sense, call in and have a chat with me. RSVP to attend in person, especially if you’d like to have lunch at 12 pm.

Thank you to all who have supplied me with your MyAgedCare number. Even if you do not need support at home but attend the Centre and are over 65 years, please call 1800 200422 and ask for a MyAgedCare number. There will be a few questions to verify your identity and address but the process is quick. If you do need support to continue living independently, you can ask for ‘an assessment’ and certain services will be provided according to your need. 

Big news! A new staff member will join us from 1 July. I’ll introduce Kate Pointon in the next Bulletin. 

Best wishes 

Andrea Dean
