Last week we held an afternoon to celebrate our wonderful Eilish and baby number three for her family. We played baby bingo and enjoyed a wonderful spread of food.

Eilish is now officially off on her maternity leave. So for all things Sport and Rec related, please contact Jaimee Schofield or call our Queanbeyan office and someone will be able to assist you.

We can’t wait to meet your little girl!

Sun Protection Time! ☀️
With the warmer weather arriving, it's really important that everyone is using their sun safe practices to protect them during the warmer months.

When you come to programs, remember to bring;
- A water bottle
- Sunglasses (if you have them)
- A hat
- Weather appropriate clothes - layers that can easily be taken off as the day warms up
- Sun cream if you need a sensitive variety

All programs will have spare sun cream to be applied during the day 🌼

🌼 Spring has sprung 🌼

And the Bunnings trips have begun!

Services across the region have been busy getting out in the gardens. Harvesting crops from winter, pulling out weeds and planting ready for summertime.

Everyone loves getting involved in planting and caring for our various gardens. And enjoys watching as they grow and flourish! 🌷
