Hello everyone,
Wow – it’s been HOT!! Please note the article about hydration – one of the most important things we need to do daily is to ensure that we are sufficiently hydrated. This is fundamental to how a healthy body functions and I cannot stress enough how important it is. Please speak to your GP if you struggle to maintain your fluid intake.
It’s peak storm season. Make sure you are taking precautions around the home and you have a torch in a really handy spot and your mobile phone charged in advance in case of power outages.
I’d like to take this opportunity to say Thanks and Farewell to our longest serving staff member Chrissy White who has been working in our kitchen since 2016, after delivering meals as a volunteer for many years prior to that.
Chrissy finished up on January 17th and is delighted to think she will never have to make 45 sandwiches a day again! We wish her all the best with life on the farm!
We hope everyone had a nice festive season. A very hearty Thank You to the Lions Club of Armidale Dumaresq for donating their delicious Christmas Cakes for us to give to our clients. This donation has been happening for so long no-one can remember when it started!
And lastly, a big THANK YOU to our friends at the Armidale Regional Council who donate Xmas presents every year for our valued clients. The staff hold various raffles to raise funds for this annual gift-giving and the feedback is always positive, we know these gifts are very much appreciated, as are the volunteers delivering them!
