Family Fun Day, Zillmere Community Centre

A Family Fun Day was held on July 9th to celebrate Zillmere Community Centre’s (ZCC) 21st birthday. We had a lovely time on the day, with lots of interest about NMC’s programs, which include cooking demonstrations, women’s morning tea and men’s group.

We also made just over $100 on pot plants, books, crafts, etc. that were donated by our members and supporters.

Thanks to ZCC staff for the opportunity to be there. Also a big thanks to our volunteers for giving up their Saturday to help out.
