As always, July has been a busy month!
We had a lovely bus outing (the bus heating was amazing) to the Big Strawberry for morning tea, which was enjoyed by all. The scones were steaming, though the coffee was a little cool, but no one seemed too worried though, and still enjoyed the day. Looking at all the old photos of the school that was built there was a highlight also. Peter H’s Finley history videos were a huge hit as always. Debbie, our matriarch of match picks, organised a footy tippers afternoon, where drinks and nibblies were had and of course we watched some highlights of the AFL. It was a lovely social event – thanks, Deb.
The FRC Kiribati staff donned traditional clothing and performed some wonderful traditional dances for the residents, that everyone enjoyed. Thank you so much to them.
We had entertainment from Ray McCartney and all the normal activities we run throughout the days, including games, quizzes, art and craft, hairdressers, birthday month party, pampering, cinema, book club, exercises, bingo, men’s shed, men’s group, a resident meeting and many more.
I said in the last newsletter that I’d let you know how much was raised for cancer from “the Biggest Morning Tea” we held recently; and the final amount was $182.25. I’m so proud of everyone who helped with this. The money has been sent off and hopefully will make life a little bit easier for those who need it. Thank you so very much to all involved.
Some exciting things are happening in August, so keep an eye out for more fun to come.
