Grants are a big help

As a new volunteer group we rely on fundraising, membership and grants to finance our work, and so far we have received three grants that are really helping.

One helps with the cooking demonstrations; one helps the men’s and women’s group activities; and a large grant from the Gaming Commission has helped us buy laptops and stationery supplies for the office, as well as materials and a water tank for the community garden.

We have other submissions that are in the pipeline and will keep looking out for funding opportunities.

Culinary Delights, 16th June

The Karen-Burmese chef was unfortunately unable to present the Thursday, 16th cooking demonstration... However, the delightful Patrizia stepped in at the last minute and presented a wonderful Italian class at the same venue—Zillmere Community Centre—preparing bruscetta and penne with broccoli.

Molto gustoso!

Indonesian Cooking Demonstration

The Indonesian cooking demonstration held at Sandgate Community Centre on the 2nd of June was a great success, despite chef Triani being unable to attend.

Many thanks to Anne Hobbs who stepped in at short notice to prepare several tasty dishes (with the help of participants) which were enjoyed by everyone who attended. Thank you, Anne!

Below are a couple of photos from the day:
