October, a month to 'Celebrate Seniors'
An enthusiastic working group of representatives have been busily putting together a diverse program of activities to bring the regions’ seniors together for a fun filled month during October.
This year’s program is being delivered by the Wattle Range Council with generous support and assistance from a range of community groups and organisations.
An annual fixture for almost ten years, the group’s coordinator, Catarina Santos said: “We are pleased to have some activities return by popular demand as well as introduce some new exciting events”.
Regular attendee, Sue Looby said: “I am looking forward to the Lake McIntyre Walk and BBQ, catching a movie and listening to live music”. While good friend Fay Hart is hoping to, “get some inspiration from the cooking demonstration and enjoy the delights on offer at the Resthaven high tea & art exhibition”.
New activities this year include:
- performances by the Tantanoola Play Group and Millicent High School’s music class;
- open days at Millicent, Kalangadoo, Nangwarry and Beachport Museums;
- a multicultural themed lunch ‘Asian Cuisine’;
- live music by Kevin and Billy for the official opening and Profile Band for the closing event and award ceremony;
- a road safety presentation by SA Police on the use of gophers; and
- a mystery bus trip.
To help support our seniors in attending, bus transport will be available free of charge to some events, with organisers recommending those wishing to participate reserve their seat early to avoid missing out.
Council encourages seniors in our community to join in and support this wide-ranging program of events. Book your attendance by contacting the Millicent Visitor Information Centre on 8733 0904.
The full Celebrate Seniors October Program for 2022 is available online on Council’s website www.wattlerange.sa.gov.au; or Facebook page. Alternatively, programs can be collected any of Council’s offices or the Millicent Library.
