This week
Hi everyone
We have our AGM coming up next Monday night, that is Monday 27 October at 6pm here at ACC. Please let us know if you’d like to join us for dinner by emailing us here. It will be pretty low key. A look back at the last year and all the fun things we have done. Something nice to eat! Chats etc.
This week sees the start of our AAA Bowls program at Alphington Bowls Club on Wednesday at 10am, along with Garden to Plate cooking program today (Monday) from 11.30am-1pm AND Crunch on Thursday at 12.30pm-2pm. Book in online. We’d love to see you!
We were sorry to hear last week that John who runs of Men’s Breakfast fractured his hip - so breakfast didn’t go ahead on Saturday - and we really do wish him all the best with a speedy recovery. We hope you feel better soon John!
We had Alphington Arts last week - see some of the great art works started on the night in the post below - such a fun and inclusive program.
Social nights at Alphington Bowls Club is back on Fridays - see the post below for the details.
ALSO … we have a funding campaign underway! the 400 neighbourhood houses in Victoria are asking the State Government to increase the annual funding by 25%. And we’re hoping to send 40,000 postcards to the Minister to physically demonstrate just how many people use the houses across Victoria.
You can find out more in the post below and … we’d really appreciate you popping into the foyer and completing a card to add to the mix! Or completing one when you are next here. We’ll drop some off at line dancing too! It is actually really, really important to us to get this funding (it would make a HUGE difference) so please help us!
Also FYI, I have been invited to be part of the Community Reference Group for the 2 Wingrove Street site review that Darebin Council is undertaking. There are about 15 people on there - and most of them I knew from around our area which is great. We met for the first time last week. I will keep you updated on the details as they emerge!
Hope to see you here soon.
Cheers Leanne
