Kensington Community Children’s Cooperative attend with 12 children and 3 staff. We also welcome 12 seniors from the Flemington Golden Age Chinese community and three local residents with an English speaking background. Participants from Gregory Lodge attend when possible however transport is an issue and attempts are being made t resolve this.
Thursday mornings from 9:30 to 11am supported by Rotarians Anne H. and Anne M. the children and the seniors are enjoying the sessions - so we hope we can keep it going.
The Choir has been invited to perform at the Kensington Festival on March 29th and will also perform at our Arts Festival in late September.
This interaction at 18 Anthony Street has led to further opportunities for Rotary to become involved in other activities at the Centre that bring community members together through arts based activities.
We would love to hear from other Rotarians, family and friends and local residents who would like to come along and be involved:
Thursday mornings in March between 9am and 11:30am to enjoy some singing, meet and learn from Ruth who is great at getting people involved, have a cuppa with the seniors after the singing, enjoy the children and help build community connections and relationships.
