First term recap

Well, we’ve done quite a lot in what feels like a very short first term. In particular we:

• Opened (then closed for a bit then reopened)

• Ran 3 Women in the Shed programs

• Restarted playgroups

• Consolidated our Friday community mornings

• Yarn bombed the ramp

• Made good progress with setting up up The Cupboard - our new podcasting studio

• Featured our first artist in the Alphington Neighbourhood Gallery - Ross O’Meara

• Officially met the new mayor of Yarra

• Moved choir and CWA offsite (due to our small space and their numbers and corona and all that … we’re sad not to see you guys regularly but happy you could find great venues nearby)

• Reorganised the front yard and paved the Community Shed seating area

• Started some new programs such as Drawing in the Shed and Matthew’s Guitar Lessons

• Restarted old favourites like Line Dancing, Ukulele and Lego Club

We’re all feeling so pleased that things are getting back on track again, and that so many new ideas are starting to come to fruition.

And we’re a bit exhausted. That’s quite a lot for our little community organisation to manage in only two months … So, we’re looking forward to the Easter break and a little down time. And then we’ll be raring to go once again!
