This Friday our lovely crafty friends Marie-Louise and Anne added some ADDITIONAL craft bling to our already craft-blinged tree in the community shed garden … now it looks extra fabulous.

Anne uses up all her wool scraps and turns them into pompoms - and we are very grateful to be the lucky recipients.

Thanks ladies! Your crafty goodness is good for us all!

What goes around comes around.

In the last month or so many in our community have embarked on their traditional annual epic tomato sauce/passata making ritual.

And because we mentioned in our newsletter that we had a glut of jars kindly donated by the community … some savvy readers asked if we could share the love. So of course we did.

In March many of our excess jars went back out into the Alphington/Fairfield universe to support local passata efforts.

And the results? Lena kindly shared a bottle or two of her delicious tomato sauce with us as thanks for sharing the jars. How great is neighbourhoodliness.

Coming up on the 1 May, at the Alphington Bowls Club. Yum!

Alphington Community Centre is a friendly, welcoming, kind and caring community space, run by paid staff, funded through a patchwork of stable ongoing funding and short term grants and overseen by a wonderful community committee that meets around 8 times a year on the fourth Monday of the month at 8pm to provide strategic direction.

We currently have 5 committee members and we’re keen for one or two more.

If you are kind-hearted and community-minded and would be interested in helping us with our big picture thinking we’d love you to consider joining our committee of governance.

Please email Leanne or call our office on 9499 7227 if this sounds like your cup of tea.
