22.01.2022 Fresh food programs delivering for those in need Coronavirus has had an enormous impact on the livelihoods of people on the Peninsula, adding extra burden on those facing hardship and poverty. Thankfully through the services of the Southern Peninsula Community Support and Information Centre (SPCSIC), Dromana Community House and Seawinds Community Hub, the fresh food program is supporting many locals through these hard times by providing access to fresh food and help to those... who need it most. Weve seen a different set of people during COVID, said SPCSIC CEO Jeremy Maxwell. More families, people who had just lost their jobs, casual workers. Were doing 100 food deliveries a week, using food agencies such as SecondBite, FairShare and OzHarvest. Its the same situation over at Dromana Community House, where their fresh food program has tripled in size since the impact of Coronavirus. Around 70 families use its Thursday morning drop- in program, with a new pop-up service on Tuesdays also popular. People come early on Thursdays, said manager Tracey Trueman. We give people a few bags of food, but its also about social interaction, friendships and connection. We also provide education and the opportunity of free legal advice from Peninsula Community Legal Centre: all with coffee! At Seawinds Community Hub, families can pick up fresh bread or fruit and veg at the same time as collecting their kids from family day care. Supermarkets, local farmers and the general community donate food for the 20 or so regulars who use the service. The community has been amazingly generous and theres been a real sense of looking after each other, said CEO Karen Vanderkaay. Source Peninsula Wide Winter edition See more

Organiser and co-ordinator Robyn Clancy from Rosebud Carols said the original idea came from Colin Blyth from the Lions Club of McCrae and she was heartened by the way all the other individual carols groups came together to support the concept. It’s be a very tough year for many and being able to end the year with some Christmas cheer and traditional song will be a great comfort to many families. I think Carols by Headlights will be a special way to celebrate Christmas and I hope families from all over the Peninsula come along to share in the festive cheer. All donations received will go to Food for All’ charity to feed members of our community in need this Christmas and Fusion Mornington Peninsula who provide accommodation for young people experiencing homelessness.

04.01.2022 Arthur Merric Boyd summer house, 62 Rosebud parade, Rosebud Commissioned by the Shire of Mornington Peninsula as an independent heritage assessment of the Art...hur Boyd family summer house . The weekender at 62 Rosebud Parade, Rosebud was first rated to the painter Arthur Merric Boyd as owning a house on the allotment in 1924, with an adjoining allotment, at the Barry Street corner. The Rosebud weekender was used by the greater Boyd family (AM Boyd and Merric Boyd families) and their many artist associates from the 1920s to its sale in 1940 after AM Boyds death. The Rosebud weekender was the setting for the emergence of Arthur Boyd as major painter and a place that gave great pleasure to the greater Boyd family while also allowing them to pursue their art in a rural seaside environment. Arthur Boyd has recalled on at least two instances that the period of his life he spent living in this cottage with his grandfather (c1936-1939) was the happiest of his life.
