Great to have Rosie back running community yoga in term 2! It will begin on Wednesday 6th of May on Wednesdays from 5:30-6:30pm.

Book in for the term to do 4 weekly sessions. $20. BYO mat.

Drop your entries off by 5pm Friday 20 March for judging. Come along on Saturday from 11am-2pm and check out the competition … and the winners. Shop, eat, listen to music … get creative, pet a baby animal or two … and enjoy our great local community!

Come along next Saturday 21 March at 1pm! Bring your fur babies. It’s silly and fun. All doggies who enter win a prize.

Exciting news! We’re starting an ACC footy-tipping competition this year. The season will kick off next week on Thursday the 5th of March with Sydney and Carlton, so sign up to join in at this link and who knows? By September you might be in the running for a prize or two!

We’re using the AFL Tipping site, so even if you’re in another competition on there you can join in the conversation and competition at ACC by signing up with our comp. as well.

Looking forward to sharing heaps of footy conversations (maybe)… definitely if the Tigers come back into their own this year!!!

Cheers Leanne

Lots of good things coming up this week.

Preserves Group - Join Kalimna in the kitchen on Tuesday for Preserves Group. From 1pm we’ll be cooking up some tomato chutney and some summer fruit jam. In between chopping and stirring we’ll stop for an afternoon tea break - coffee and a sweet treat, so it’s not all hard work. From 1pm. Also …. if you have small clean jars to donate we’d love some more! We’re cooking up in preparation for sales at the Alphington Show (coming up on Saturday 21 March - a date for you diaries).

Day of Action - on Wednesday our office will close for a couple of hours around lunchtime as we head into the city to campaign for better funding for neighbourhood houses on the steps of Parliament. If you’d like to support this we’d love your company. Just email us here and we’ll let you know the details (we’re catching the train in!).

CRUNCH - Join Lee and Leanne for lunch and a creative arts activity at ACC on Thursday from 12.30pm. Only $10 this year. Book in on our website here.

and/or ….

Alphington Arts - on Thursday evening at 7.30pm for more arty fun! A lovely opportunity to meet other creative folk in the ‘hood, chat and create. This time we will be doing collage, inspired by Gustav Klimt. You can start your work with a photo of someone you love (bring your image along) or choose a random person from a magazine. We’ll be using mixed media - ink, paint, markers and paper to build our works. Thanks Lee for organising this session. You can book in here.

Community Lunch - we have the Deputy Mayor from Yarra Council joining us on Friday, along with some of our Council colleagues. It is always great to have Councillors and staff come along and see our space in action! All welcome (of course).

Hope to see you soon!

Cheers Leanne
