Sunday 7pm. Alphington Bowls Club. Come along and sing all your favourite Christmas songs.

Christmas lunch this Friday. 12pm. Come along!

Great to have Keir visit on Friday. He is the CEO of our peak body NHVic … and his job is to do lots of advocacy for neighbourhood houses - so it is terrific that he is visiting so many to find out all the things we do.

Because every house is different … because every neighbourhood is different.

He had lunch with us and got to enjoy some CWA baking … heard Brett’s Christmas poem, and helped us sing happy birthday to Sandra.

Also … I talked his ear off about all the things we do here. It was super.

If you are here this week and would like to contribute to our solar light project please put your hand up and we’ll give you the materials to make one! We’d love you to contribute.

Oyr little hill of dreams is coming along now, with lots more lights added this week.

Join us on Friday 15 December for Christmas lunch at ACC. We’ll have a cold buffet of ham and chicken and salads, with a selection of Christmas desserts - including fruit and mince tarts, shortbreads etc. We’ll have it in our garden - weather permitting. It is always so lovely to catch up with everyone! Let us know if you plan to make it by emailing here. You can of course always just drop in … but a general sense of who is coming will help us with catering!

And a lucky door prize to win (just for coming along!) … and we’ll also have a visit from Santa.

We hope you can make it.

Don’t forget that Christmas Carols are on again! Sing your heart out at Alphington Bowls Club - from 7pm on Sunday 17 December. A gold coin donation will go to a charity. Thanks once again to our wonderful community organisers for this event - and the Alphingtones Choir members who step up to lead the singing and keep us all vaguely in tune and in time!
