01.01.2022 I would like to thank Carol a million thankyou’s for her hard work throughout the three years volunteering, Carol started volunteering when she seen my flat burnt scones I made back in 2017 and came in with her fluffy yummy scones lol Carol started making scones each Monday then went onto starting a Cooking with Carol program at our house. She then moved over to assist us with starting up programs at the Redgum centre, Carol volunteers 3 days per week, and does all our food ...share and coles orders for us (she budgets better than me). During COVID restrctions Carol continued to assist me with the food bank, she’s a hard worker and loves helping our seniors at Redgum estate. Carol welcomes everyone who visits the Redgum centre, with her smile and witty humour Carol always makes you want to come back to have a chat with her. There is a list of roles and jobs Carol helps me with that is too long to mention but without her I would be lost indeed. So thank you again Carol, I’m grateful to have you by my side Today: Carol and I packed over 30 hampers which will be handed out to our Redgum residents before Xmas breakup, thank you food share in bendigo for the hamper items and Crossenvale house donating the gingerbread biscuits
