Welcome to SPRING in Sydney's
best neighbourhood
H
i everyone, I hope you have dropped into our Centre lately and seen the new library. If you are looking for a good book to read for the weekend or you like to keep a few beside the bed then come in and have a browse. We have a huge selection of crime, romance and current literary books. There are children’s books and non-fiction as well. Open seven days a week in the mornings and some afternoons too. Well summer is coming and we all start thinking more about fitness so don’t forget about our yoga classes which have increased due to popular demand. We also have Pilates classes so get in early to secure your place. Don’t forget about the wonderful chamber music concerts that are held on the 1st Sunday of the month in the Gallery room here at the Centre, it is truly a beautiful experience. We are soon starting a jazz concert every 2 months as well. What a treat for this community. My news is after nearly 9 years as General Manager I am leaving at the end of October. It has been an amazing experience meeting so many people and sharing their stories. I have seen babies born and older residents who were cherished and part of the Centre pass away. The Kirribilli Centre and the people who use it are truly a unique and special community. It has so much to offer and I have enjoyed my time here so much. I am off to do some creative things for myself and start a new chapter in my life but the Kirribilli community will always have a special place in my heart. With love and a wave,
Coral
General Manager TKC
