08.01.2022 Today I was invited ‘across the border’ to attend the opening of the sailing season at The Cruising Yacht Club of WA in Rockingham. Always a lovely event and the rain held off just long enough to for the official proceedings to nearly finish.
08.01.2022 How quickly a year flies by and this afternoon I was invited to attend the 2020 Kwinana Senior Citizens Christmas Luncheon. A great bunch of seniors, plenty of laughs and some lovely Christmas fare - they even managed to snaffle two new members, namely Roger Cook and my husband.. who both now qualify (namely because they are over a certain age)!

06.01.2022 Have you thought about gifting your family with a new pet this year? Choosing the right pet for you is fun, but it takes time, planning and a whole lot of resea...rch to ensure you make the right decision for you and your family. Before introducing your new furry mate into the family, please remember that pets are a lifelong commitment. Consider your needs and the needs of the animals and ask yourself - am I prepared to care for a pet for its whole life? Can I afford a pet? Do I know how and do I have the time to care for a pet? Will a pet fit into my lifestyle and priorities? For more information on responsible pet ownership > https://kwin.city/2KrfrSC
06.01.2022 I know there has been much community concern and backlash following the recent announcement by the City of Kwinana to withdraw from the Lolly Run event on Christmas morning. I appreciate and understand the community sentiment at the loss of this iconic event, but I do hope after reading the media release and FAQ, residents may appreciate (thought not necessarily agree) with the reasoning behind this decision and the transitioning to a multi evening event that will be see the Lolly Run continue in the lead up to Christmas instead of Christmas morning. https://www.kwinana.wa.gov.au//Lolly-Run-gets-an-exciting-
