Needles and Thread Program

Needles and Thread Program are held Mondays mornings at 70 Wray Crescent. This group produces and donates many items for use by hospitals, childrens crisis centres, womens crisis centres, and age care homes throughout the world. Also seeks donations of wool, material, books, magazines, old spectacles and used stamps.

Volunteer with the St John Ambulance

The St John Ambulance Community Care Branch, based at Mt Evelyn is expanding their activities of providing outings to residents of aged care homes and seek more drivers to facilitate this very valuable and worthwhile activity.

They are seeking volunteer who will be able to provide a regular commitment of one day a week, or fortnight or month to enjoy the company of our elder members as they are re­united with community events and places. Full training is given, and the only requirement is a normal car license, to drive our fully automatic 12 seater minibuses. We particularly welcome husband and wife teams, as the other members can also assist with our elderly passengers.

Most outings are within a hundred kms or so, and may include a picnic, a visit to the beach, theatre, cinema, or just for a meal out.

If you would like to know more, please ring Jim Humphrey - State Manager on 9737 1053
