Seniors gear up for Christmas
The Senior Citizens Club is holding its annual Garage Sale this week and taking bookings for Christmas lunch.
The Phillip Island Senior Citizens Club is gearing up for its last two lunches of the year.
Members will be very happy with what Santa has delivered for the Christmas lunch raffle on Friday December 1.
“Santa has been tirelessly working with our local businesses and has obtained so many great gifts for our members to win,” said club secretary Liza Lee.
“At last count I think we have over 25 beautiful businesses who have very generously donated their products for our members to win and enjoy.
“We'd also like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have given and continued to give throughout the year for our regular monthly lunches raffles: RSL Cowes, HBomb Barbershop, Putters Cafe @ Cowes Golf Club, Penny Lane, Priceline, Terry White Chemist, Ladasha Jeweller Cowes, G'day Tiger, Cowes Bazaar Pizza, San Remo Butchers, Jeni Jobe, Sue Jacobi, Grazing Phillip Island, Cowes Marketplace, Green Gully Microbrewery, Phillip Island Bakery and Bakers Delight.”
Liza said the club wanted to extend a special thank you to Phil and Konnie and staff at Cowes IGA “for always giving us a great deal for our meat and vegetables and anything else we need for our lunches”.
“To all our sponsors, our committee, members and club in general we are so very thankful and grateful for your awesome generosity and kindness.
“We hope to continue business with you in the coming year.”
The club will be having its annual garage sale on Saturday November 4 (Cup weekend) with many different and varied stall holders including the world famous sausage sizzle by the Rotary Club in Cowes.
“They will be raising money for all the great causes they donate money to, so please come along and support not only Rotary for raising money for great causes, but also our locals who have stalls on the day too,” said Liza.
“If you're a paid up member don't forget to book in for our Christmas lunch on Friday December 1. Call or text me on 0431 867 058 to reserve your seat for Christmas, and for anything else you want to know about.”
Liza also said the club would not be running a lunch on Christmas Day as it has on previous years.
“We don't have the manpower to run it and we've hired our hall out for a couple weeks which includes Christmas day.”
She said the club would provide details of alternative Christmas Day lunch options shortly.
