Message from Lifestyle Coordinator
Grahame
Hello folks!
What a thrill it is for me to be jotting down some highlights on behalf of the Leisure & Lifestyle team. Though I’ve only recently joined Wallsend Manor as the Lifestyle Coordinator, I bring three decades of
experience in aged care and will be working with the team in bringing new engaging leisure opportunities to compliment the old favourites. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome and we’re willing to give anything a go! Highlights of the winter months included a visit from the exceptional Wayne Rogers, a cuppa outing to the Spoonbill Café at the Wetlands, lunch at the Fire Station Hotel, a magnificent Christmas in July feast and visits from the Waratah Warblers Male Singers. We were also treated to a concert by the talented, Connor Winc, who has promised to return shortly. His sublime voice raised everyone’s spirits so I urge everyone to try and make his next performance. The arts and crafts groups are bringing out the creativity in all participants and we can’t wait to unveil our major group art project - an homage to Vincent Van Gogh’s masterpiece “Sunflowers”. Leisure and lifestyle, Jo has done a fantastic job facilitating the creation of this beautiful artwork, stay tuned to see this masterpiece in person or photos. The shopping trip to Lake Fair was a great success and it was so nice to browse the shops, have a coffee and enjoy lunch. No clear winner of “Spotto” was unearthed on the trip home due to constant rule changes and cheating. Thanks to our volunteer driver, Judy for the day.
