FRIENDS of Kellock Inc held their annual mega cake stall across the Melbourne Cup Day weekend, selling out of everything. Mary and her husband were the winners of the wheelbarrow raffle on Saturday 31 October. Friends of Kellock says a huge thanks to the community for continuing to support the fundraising group. They also say a very special thanks to their incredible baking group who unfailingly donate the most wonderful baked goods, some in multiples that you can hardly believe; they are all amazing, kind and generous people. All monies raised go to ensuring that the elders who reside at Kellock Lodge, Alexandra, enjoy accessible and homely amenity. Consider having to move from your home to an Aged Care facility, leaving behind all that is familiar and dear to you. Friends of Kellock try to fill that gap by providing items as simple as fresh, white tablecloths, hand embroidered washing bags, beautification of the gardens, and so on. These things are just a touch of home. Some items are easily purchased, others are very expensive, such as sensor sliding doors onto the magnificent new garden, plus the whole of the sensory garden project. Government fees and grants cover the running costs but never stretch to these other pleasantries. Thank you all for being part of the Kellock Community. If you would like to become a member of the Friends of Kellock bakers/helpers on a regular basis, please contact the Secretary, Veronica Hendrickson on 0431 218 265.
