Hi everyone, just a reminder that ANZAC Day is this coming Thursday … and we will be taking a long weekend … eg. not here on Thursday or Friday. We’ll see you back the following week ready for our AAA Bowls, AAA Art and Clare’s art classes to begin.

And … don’t forget the dawn service at Alphington Park on ANZAC Day … followed by tea and toast at the Alphington Bowls Club - for anyone interested. Check back in our posts from a couple of weeks ago for the details.

We’re very excited about our kitchen!

The builders finished up the majority of their work on Friday … and so we’re back inside for programming this week.

Come past and take look. We’re still getting ourselves organised … but it is great!

Welcome to Term 2. We’re pretty excited to be back.

And … hooray, our renovations are nearly nearly nearly done! The floorboards that were hiding under the carpet and lino have been filled, sanded and polished this weekend. They look amazing!

The kitchen plumbing is in. And lino is down in there - to match the floorboards in the other rooms. It looks super! Out the back the pergola now has a roof and there is a new tap and outdoor sink.

So, a day or two for the floors to dry and then we just have lots of things to move back into the right rooms! And the builders have a few more jobs like skirtings and painting to finish off.

By next week we anticipate that we should be able to set up the tables and chairs and reposition our usual furniture.

It is going to be so amazing to start to explore the opportunities created by our new/improved spaces.

Please let us know if you have any programs or activities you’d like to see run at ACC into the future. Send us an email info@alphington.org.au or call us on 9499 7227.

Join Clare on Monday afternoons from 1-3pm or on Thursday evenings from 6.30-8.30pm … and explore your inner artist in a fun, relaxed and supportive small-group setting.

• Monday 29th April - 17th June

We have tiles in the kitchen.

We have plaster with paint! and cabinetry in the new pod in the backyard.

And our new toy library room has a flat floor and shelves …

Hooray. This week we’re expecting the pergola slab to be poured on Monday and the floorboards to be sanded on Thursday … so we’re looking at being on track for Term 2 functionality.
