WOOLGOOLGA SENIORS’ CENTRE
e-NEWS SHEET
06 April 2020
Dear Members
We hope you are all well and managing to stay safe and connected. COVID-19 has significantly disrupted our lives and every day we need to adapt. The Centre will not resume operations until we are advised by Government authorities that it is safe to do so. We deeply regret this situation.
New Bus
We are so thrilled to have received monies from NSW Government to purchase a new bus!!! Extract from Gurmesh Singh presentation hereunder.
“Today I announced $50,000 from the NSW Government’s Stronger Country Communities Fund to improve social inclusion and meet the needs of our ageing population. The Woolgoolga Seniors Centre has secured these funds for the purchase of a new bus, which will see residents across the Coffs Harbour electorate benefit from low cost, day and overnight trips for seniors in the area.
The centre’s existing bus is over 12 years old and is becoming a financial drain due to its age.”
The purchase of a new bus will assist greatly with what the WSC can offer by way of bus trips to Members. We need your feedback and encourage you to email your ideas/suggestions to woolgoolgasc@gmail.com
When the Centre reopens, the following will be scheduled:
- overnight bus trips away
- shopping trips
- local sightseeing trips
Thank you
Gurmesh Singh took time to thank and congratulate Irene, our Grants Coordinator, on her excellent submission to obtain this grant money. We are also very proud of Irene’s hard work and a huge thank you goes her way.
Annual General Meeting has been re-scheduled for later in the year - date to be advised.
Membership Renewal - Members will receive invitation to renew membership during May/June
