We’ve got heaps of preserves for sale! Only $7. Pickles, chutneys and jams.

Thanks as always to everyone who came along to help us make these … and those who donated fruit and jars … it’s a collective effort!

Our ukulele group The Flukes gave us an amazing performance at the Alphington Show in March and on Sunday the 28th of June they are back again for a singalong!

Come down to the Centre from 3.00-4.30pm for an end of term celebration. We can’t wait to sing our hearts out to a classic list of songs, including:

-Sunny Afternoon

-Eight Days a Week

-Echo Beach

-Count on Me

-Then I Kissed Her

-I’m a Believer

-Happy Together

-Rhythm of the Falling Rain

-Hit the Road Jack

We love Alphington Farmers’ Market! Always great to buy some local produce.

It’s long a weekend - so I hope you are taking it easy today and doing something extra nice … and thinking of King Charles? Or more likely maybe not??

We’re in the last month of Term 2 which means it is time for us to be thinking about programs we can run in the second half of the year.

If you have a program you’d like to run let us know!

You can volunteer and run one (like Rosie did with Community Yoga - we love it Rosie!) , or if you have an ABN we can support your small business efforts to run something (like Clare running art classes and Yoyo teaching violin).

Or, you may have been to a great one-off workshop that you think people in our neighbourhood would like … and have a contact for the person who runs it … we’re always interested.

You can email info@alphington.org.au or call us on 9499 7227 if you have an idea!

Looking forward to another great (but short) week at ACC. Please note Kalimna is away for 2 weeks - poor sausage now has her hand in a cast after her operation on her finger.

This coming Saturday 13 June we have the Sewing Machine Maintenance Workshop on from 9.30am. You can check the previous post for the booking link.

See you soon I hope!

Cheers Leanne
