Wonderful New Friends Over Winter the Centre has gained many new friends. We’ve been joined by

69 new members and deepened friendships with neighbours near and far. Botany Bay Rotary very kindly gave their support to our Winter Soups program with a grant of $2232. This has been a great boost and has provided the Centre with the means to serve an interesting menu of soups every Tuesday in June through to the end of August. Lots of members have taken advantage of this and have met new members in the kitchen over cups of hot soup and delicious cakes. Thank you Rotary Botany Bay.

We also owe a Big Thank you to South Sydney Juniors and Randwick Council for extending support to the Centre with a grant of $4190 through the ClubsGRANT program. This grant will help us further promote the development of friendship between members and new comers.

Closer to “home”, members in the Centre’s craft classes have been delighted to be hosted by staff and residents at Jarrah House celebrating the power of handcrafts to people of all ages, from new borns to great grandparents. Coast Centre members donated lovely knitted and crocheted items to the residents and received an overwhelming expression of gratitude for the items and friendship. New works are now in progress. If anyone would like to donate 8 ply knitting yarn for more items, they would be greatly appreciated.

A VERY BIG thank you to everyone who voted for the Centre in the Randwick Business Awards. Your support has been rewarded as we have become a Finalist ! Fingers crossed now for the final stages and our bid to be a Winner !
