May God open our eyes to recognise who Jesus is, that we might accept the gift, He came to give all who believe in him. The gift of eternal life. Janet White – Presbyterian Church.
Successful mini-fete Work from the nimble fingers and green thumbs of Warrina, Karana and Allawah residents attracted buyers to the first joint-facility mini-fete fundraiser on November 30.
Tables filled with the residents’ handy work from many craft, gardening and woodwork activities went on sale for the inaugural event. Karana Diversional Therapist Wendy Davis said the mini-fete was a great opportunity to showcase the talents of the residents while raising money to put back into activities. “We’ve never done it before but we had
accumulated so much great stuff we thought it was a good opportunity to share it with the community,” Wendy said. “The residents are very involved in a range of activities and we thought this was a great way to show off what they can do.” Items for sale included hand-crocheted coat hangers, toys and baby clothes, blankets and hand-made decorations from the talented crew at Warrina and handcrafted wooden toys and plants from the participants of the Men’s Shed program at Karana. “The YarrawongaMulwala Woodworkers donate the kits with all

cial mention of Heather Dowling who every year makes 60 Christmas cakes and donates them to us to sell to the residents, staff and families,” Wendy said. “It’s an amazing effort and if it wasn’t for people like Heather and all our amazing volunteers we wouldn’t be able to do what we can with the residents.” Fundraising efforts for the three facilities
are continuing with the sale of Christmas Raffle tickets now underway. First prize is a handmade timber stand with mirror, second prize is an antique hand-made tapestry and third prize is a decorative Christmas tree and prized Heather Dowling Christmas cake. Tickets are available now and the winners will be drawn on December 21.
