This week

Hi everyone,

In exciting (but necessarily low-key) news, we are going to be a Low Sensory Voting Site for the Northcote electorate. If you or someone you know would benefit from a quiet, low-sensory space for voting (lights low, all our pictures down, no noisy stuff happening outside etc.) then you are welcome to come here. This voting opportunity will happen 10 days before the actual election … on Tuesday 17 November from 9am-5pm. You can find out all the details from the VEC here.

Also, our Christmas Makers’ Market is next Saturday 21 November from 11am-2pm and we’re gearing up. Come on down to shop locally for your Christmas gifts and bring the kids along for Christmas crafty activities and a sausage in bread! It will also be the first weekend of Alphington Open Studios, which is a great annual celebration of our local artists. Pick up the brochure here in our foyer (or outside on the side of the street libraries) and check out the artists at ACC before following the trail around the neighbourhood to visit all the other local artists involved, in their studios or at the Parklands. AOS is supported by a grant from the North Fitzroy/Clifton Hill Community Bank (what an ace bank).

In the meantime, if you’d like to celebrate Diwali you can join us for Community Lunch this Friday at 12pm for an Indian feast and/or you can pop in at 12.30pm for a coffee/tea and some dancing! Should be both yummy and lots of fun.

Check out our website here at this link to find out more information about what’s on at ACC and to book in to all the things online!

Cheers Leanne
