In case you missed the news – yes, Christmas is coming. Thanks to the elves for a delightful display in the foyer.
CHRISTMAS CARDS
In need of a special Christmas card or two? Check out the beautiful hand made range which are on display in the foyer and made by the card making group. These are such a bargain at $3.00 each.
CHRISTMAS LUNCH
All is in readiness for our 2025 Christmas lunch, and the 125 members who have booked in will, I’m sure, have a very enjoyable day. Yummy food and, thanks to the many donors, we have lots of goodies to be won in the form of hampers and Christmas bags to add to the Christmas spirit. Start time 12 Noon.
WATERING
Do you have an hour or two to spare this summer? Our blooming flower and vege pod outside the sitting room is in need of a weekly watering. If you are available and willing to take a spot on a roster, please give your name and contact details to Polly and our friendly maintenance team (Sue Allen!) will be in touch to fill you in on what is needed.
