Wendy Oliver has requested 8 volunteers to assist with roadside collection for the Red Shield Appeal on Saturday 26 May between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. Please email Wendy or talk to her about your availability.Russell reported that the Club members had sold 50 raffle books, contributing $ 1000 towards our Fundraising goal.
Our Guest Speaker was Mary George from Pavilions which is a Lifestyle Retirement Village on the site of the Seventh Day Adventist Campground at Blackburn Lake.
Mary told us that in 2017 there were 178,000 people living in retirement communities and this is projected to increase to 325,000 by 2025. Retirees are looking to downsize and have low maintenance and freedom with the secure knowledge that they can go away for a few months and not worry about their property. This new development will have communal facilities for everyone to enjoy and access to aged care if required.
