Join in the celebrations!

We are very fortunate to have Phil volunteer his time weekly to help anyone in our community who needs assistance with their devices … phones, tablets, laptops and lately even printers! He’s a master of all things computery ….

Phil is generally here on Tuesday afternoon from 2-4pm, but in Term 2 the times will change for 6 weeks - to Wednesdays from 10am-12pm. This will start from Wednesday 26 April (our first day back) and run through to Wednesday 7 June.

So … if you need help with your device (you are having trouble setting up your new phone, your tablet is doing strange things, you’re email isn’t working across your devices, you need some tips of how to use Word or Excel etc.) you are more than welcome to come along and he’ll do his best to help you. To book in just call Kalimna in our office on 9499 7227 (she is here Tuesday and Thursday).

Preston Garden Club is holding a Garden Gala at Darebin North West Uniting Church Hall - 330a Murray Road, Preston, on Saturday 22 April from 11am - 3pm.

There will be plants, preserves, Drewitt’s bulbs, bonsai and herbs and garden tools for sale, along with a sausage sizzle, CWA devonshire tea, garden talks and demonstrations, a raffle and more … Sounds super hey!

We now have a defibrillator at ACC. It will be mounted on the wall outside the office (we think - we’ll post the exact location when it is installed - but it will definitely be out somewhere accessible) and will be available anytime 24/7 for community use. So, if you have an emergency make a mental note … just in case.

If you need to use it (and we hope you don’t of course) it is fully automated, you just turn it on and follow the instructions …

Thanks so much to the 29 participants in the 2023 Alphington Dog Show.

Another packed out event that ran as part of the overall Alphington Show.

Lots of cute dogs. Lots of winners. Thanks to Jill for once again being a super MC and to our judges … and to E and A Salce up on High Street in Thornbury for our lovely prizes.

Here are some photos (thanks Kalimna for your amazing photography skills).
