CRC NEWS
WHAT'S HAPPENING?Another month has passed us by and the CRC has been busy offering support to our community in so many ways.
We have completed print jobs for groups and individuals, conducted IT support sessions, had lots of room bookings, referred a new business to obtain start-up assistance, assisted organisations with constitution reviews and continued with Better Beginnings and our twice-weekly seniors exercise sessions. There was a change from the regular Kahoot quiz as we ran an ‘Off-grid games’ session, which was lots of fun. And there was an after-school Easter activity to get crafty and creative! We signed up another two clients to the ‘Staying in Place’ Community Care program and hosted three days of training for support workers. Care Coordinator Leonie, together with Misty and Georgia from InCasa, attended the ‘Storm in a Teacup’ Women’s Day to promote the program and chat to community members. Never shy to join in a dress up opportunity, the staff donned their red and yellow to participate in the Community Charity Day raising funds for Ronald McDonald House WA. Thanks to everyone who came in to donate and congratulations to the BBDHS Student Council for initiating this whole community activity. Our Centre Manager, Jodi has been involved with a number of meetings between CRCs and other agencies to collaborate in addressing some crucial issues in our communities, such as digital literacy, transport (or lack of) in the region, and building a community resilience network with SWNRM. She also participated in the CoMHAT Youth Forum and made a presentation to Council to share the success of the library relocation and plans for the future. A Special General Meeting was held on March 18 to vote on changes to the CRC’s constitution, which were approved. And finally, the CRC is excited to welcome our new trainee Emily Drummond.
