Community Happenings Summer
Christmas Celebration December began with putting up our Christmas trees and decorations. The festive spirit took hold immediately, transforming our spaces into Christmas environments that signalled the season had truly arrived. Our Resident Christmas Lunch became the centrepiece of December. Jayde entertained us, and she’s become a crowd favourite for good reason. Her performances create exactly the atmosphere we want for celebrations. The raffle draw built anticipation throughout the meal, and lucky door prizes meant unexpected winners beyond the main raffle. When prizes were drawn, Nicola Saad won the Baby Q Weber, Ken Wakefield took home the $150 Pine Rivers Bowls Voucher, and Bernina and her husband Ray won the Christmas Hamper that Nikki Boyd had generously donated. The Christmas buffet lunch came with all the bells and trimmings. Buffet format lets us choose what we want, take as much or as little as appeals, return for seconds if desired. That autonomy matters during celebrations.
Regular Rhythms Sensory Play, Pet Therapy, and Garden Group continued. These regular activities provide consistency that balances special events. Sensory Play engages us differently than conversation-based activities. Pet Therapy brings animals into our days, offering companionship and comfort. Garden Group keeps us connected to growing things, to seasons, to outdoor work that produces visible results.
