25.01.2022 Keep these ladies in mind for catering. Best in town and do an AMAZING HIGH TEA.
24.01.2022 Such a huge supporter of Somerville Family Day, allowing us to fundraise and network for our own Show & Shine. You guys are so appreciated; such an integral part of our journey. Cant wait for it all to start up again.
24.01.2022 Somerville Family Day was beyond thrilled to pay a gift forward to Jess and her family. Jess has a rare form of congenital muscular dystrophy and is about to spend some time back in hospital. How awesome is it to see siblings spending time together. Life became a little easier when Brenton Alp and his team popped around to build some safe ramps for Jess to access all areas at home. This is why we do what we do and work hard at building a community. Thanks to EVERYONE who ha...s supported Somerville Family Day. Here is Jess page https://m.facebook.com/JustforJess2015/
23.01.2022 With stunning blue skies, warm sun, (actually a perfect day for SOMERVILLE Family Day) we met with Shire to go through how 2021 will look. Each year we try to rethink our space, activities and what we can offer our community and event goers. What will we look like in 2021? We still aren’t 100% sure as the COVID goal posts can move at any moment. So in the mean time we are planning for a COVID SFD. It will be a bit different but still lots of fun. Even a few minor events throughout the year. Stay tuned.
23.01.2022 We love how two businesses jump on board SFD & work together. Stickers designed and printed by SOMERVILLE local business The Sticker Lab and our banner was printed by Tyabb local Essenjay Signs. Both sponsors and great supporters of Somerville Family Day. https://www.facebook.com/stickerlabau/ essenjaysigns.com.au... #sfdsponsors #stickerlabau #essenjaysigns #sfd2020 #thankingoursponsors #shoplocalshopsomerville #sfd
23.01.2022 Announcing our 2020 AGM. If you have ever thought of joining our dynamic team please come along and hear exactly what we are about and how you can help. Official positions available and volunteers always needed.
22.01.2022 *Update* Applications for funding are now closed. Thank you to everyone that has applied. The committee will be meeting and assessing our capacity to donate, pending a final assessment of our financial position. All applicants will be contacted directly. ... As we are about to finalise our figures for 2020 (sadly held up by COVID19) we are needing some help! As most of you know each year we donate our profits back to our SOMERVILLE COMMUNITY. We will know in the next week exactly what money is available to donate, having checked we have paid all our bills. With the spiralling costs and having to pay for costly infrastructure we know funds could be limited. For 2020 we only had one nomination for consideration. We are seeking some ideas for consideration how this money could be used within our community. Criteria is to reach, engage and include as many people as possible. Clubs, struggling programs/projects etc. Please send suggestions for consideration to [email protected] Closes April 30 2020.
22.01.2022 As we hopefully move into Stage 3 we would like anyone interested in joining our dynamic team for 2021, or to attend our AGM to register with us. Stage 3 rules permitting we will be very tight on space re social distancing. We dont know what 2021 will look like as yet. We have lots in place, ready to go, praying the is given. If its not possible we have some AWESOME fun, community based ideas to run through out the year, ready to make 2022 the most magical year ever. So please send us a message to register, were a great team. Any new members we would love to meet you the week leading up to date just to say hi.
21.01.2022 This is what SOMERVILLE Family Day is all about. Supporting each other, building a network. Here are two of our 2020 sponsors working together, promoting together. #sfd2020 #sfdsponsors #sfdnetworking
21.01.2022 One of our BIGGEST supporters is the Peninsula Aero Club in our neighbouring town of Tyabb. Once again they are doing their annual Christmas Toy Run. So please add one toy to your list, no need to wrap it as they need to be checked for safety and age levels. Drop it down at the Tyabb Airfield on the fun open day and enjoy atmosphere. For those who can’t get there we will have a drop off point organised in Somerville very soon. SUNDAY 6th December From 10-30am COVID SAFE Fr...ee Sausage sizzle Antique and Warbird aircraft on display. See you there See more
21.01.2022 Two of towns favourite catch up places. They are very different coffee/eating experiences. Both have sponsored SOMERVILLE Family Day and been part of our journey. With restrictions about to open up for our favourite cafes/restaurants, it will so good to get back to supporting them. #shoplocalshopsomerville #sfd2020 #sfdsponsors #vesbar #harlemspecialtycoffee https://www.facebook.com/somerville.com.au/... https://www.facebook.com/harlemspecialtycoffee/
21.01.2022 SOMERVILLE FAMILY DAY is very proud to announce some more of our funding for 2020. Our local Clubs nominated and we feel with seasons in limbo they need a helping hand to continue their AMAZING work they do in our Community. Clubs arent just a weekend game, they are made up of amazing volunteers who have community spirit and who mentor our younger members which they will remember for a life time. Each Club nominated specific needs which we will let them share on their pages.... So please visit their pages and support their journeys. They support SFD every year and we love showing them off. We want to acknowledge and thank all the Club sponsors and SFD sponsors as you make this happen along with our market stall holders, show & shine cars and the huge amount of public members who come along. 2020 will have a silver lining and thats BUILDING A COMMUNITY. CONGRATULATIONS CLUBS. See more
20.01.2022 Today we had the privilege of delivering over 150 toys/books to PAC (Peninsula Aero Club) Annual Toy Run. Somerville Family Day and our Community once again worked together to support each other. We can’t do this without your support from sponsorships and attending our events. Once again a HUGE THANKYOU to everyone who supports us.
18.01.2022 Red Carpet Removals supported SOMERVILLE Family Day. Love their advertising. Good to see some fun in promoting your amazing business.
18.01.2022 During these very challenging times we are forever grateful to our amazing sponsors. Our favourite pub has had to close their doors and we miss a drink and a local catch up. They have been so supportive of our day allowing us to utilise their carpark for our show & shine. Cant wait to return the favour and support Somerville Hotel when it reopens. Thanks for being part of our journey. Lets hope 2021 is a go ahead. We are planning on it. https://www.facebook.com/somerville.hotel/
17.01.2022 And it's started! Somerville Family Day committee have started to plan for 2021. It may seem a long way in advance but that's how long it takes to make this day happen! Put it in your calendars now. Can we beat Somerville Family Day 2020.......? (of course we can ) #somervillefamilyday #familyday #sfd #somervillefamilyday2021 #sfd2021 #morningtonpenisula #mornpen #familyfun #bringthefamily #freeentry #bringon2021!
16.01.2022 They were a huge success at SOMERVILLE Family Day this year. Get the kids involved. https://facebook.com/events/s/free-happy-kids-sports-zoom-se/2586554424938208/?ti=icl
15.01.2022 Probably our longest supporter of Somerville Family Day, there from Day ONE. Awesome job Hayley, you are literally a Peninsula ICON with your business. Good luck
15.01.2022 With tax time just around the corner, you can be assured Peninsula Tax & Accounts are up to date with all COVID financial related updates for both personal and businesses. Local to SOMERVILLE and we are very grateful to have had them on board as sponsors for 2020. https://www.facebook.com/PeninsulaTaxAndAccounts/
15.01.2022 Such great supporters of Somerville Family Day. Ohhhhhh how we are all looking forward to a warm summer night with friends and family watching fun movies.
14.01.2022 We love how sponsors jump on board and end up working together to promote our event. Stickers were designed and printed my local SOMERVILLE business The Sticker-Lab and then Tyabb business Essenjay Signs printed our banner with these two logos. Thats what we are about, networking and building a community.
14.01.2022 Sometimes in our AMAZING COMMUNITY the lines blur when it comes to both helping and giving. Save Another Angel is another project very close to our hearts. Recently an online auction was held in support of a very giving community member Karen Ashcroft who is fighting brain cancer. These absolute brilliant local businesses quickly put up their hands to donate. Many of these businesses already sponsor sporting clubs and other charities and even in these hard times they jumped t...o help again. Towns cant do community events or sport if we dont have very generous sponsors/donators. THANKYOU We will be promoting OUR 2020 Event Sponsors and also sharing the businesses sponsoring our sporting clubs. We are in this together. #shoplocalshopsomerville #supportthosewhosupportsomerville #keepourtownthriving See more

05.01.2022 Community SPIRIT doesnt get any better than TODAY. A young local girl named Jess was nominated for consideration for some funding for 2020. Jess suffers from Muscular Dystrophy. We were so humbled by Jess and her Mum after reading their application form. Of all the things they could have asked for they asked for a ramp at their front door. After asking around our Community Networking Team we were told BKLA Constructions from SOMERVILLE would love to help. We already knew th...ey were very reputable so SOMERVILLE FAMILY DAY Offered to pay for the job to be done. Brenton from BKLA Constructions offered to donate both labour and materials. Under a week and Jess has been able to go through her front door for the first time. A day full of smiles and laughs and we believe even a Tik Tok moment with Jess and the team. SOMERVILLE FAMILY DAY along with Jess and her family are so appreciative of your generosity Brenton Alp and your team. Please support this AWESOME, LOCAL, SOMERVILLE business BKLA CONSTRUCTIONS.

For those who are wishing to join our dynamic team please email us at [email protected] Or pm Cally McNulty or Chrissy Kouvaras to have a chat.
04.01.2022 As we are all still reeling from last weeks tragedy of losing 4 of our Victorian Police, we felt it would be appropriate to share the official fundraising page to support their families. Vic Pol have always supported SOMERVILLE FAMILY DAY so its the least we can do. Please donate if your able or share the fundraiser. We are thinking of everyone hurting from this tragedy. ... http://www.policelegacyvic.org.au/

It’s easy, just pop in or call them, buy an item on the list, or even a gift card, leave at the shop and toooo easy, the animals will be fed. Supporting 2 LOCAL BUSINESSES at once. Ph 59775203
03.01.2022 Such an emotional evening
02.01.2022 Quick Customs Embroidery & Merchandise jumped on board to sponsor our event and embroider our t shirts and jackets. We were so excited to see our promo tees. Local to Crib Point another family business making themselves known on the Peninsula. Very high quality work and so easy to work with. #sfd2020 #sfdsponsor #quickcustomembroideryandmerchandise #thankingoursponsors https://www.facebook.com/quickcustoms/
02.01.2022 Peninsula Aero Club, just across the paddocks at Tyabb have been huge supporters of SFD. For the past few years they have flown over our event, showcasing amazing planes to the delight of our event goers. Behind the scenes they have rallied muscle, officials and even the Navy for us. 2020 saw them hold their Tyabb Air Show the day before and they still had time to contribute to SFD. #pac #tyabb #sfd2020 #eyestotheskies #flyovers #sfdsupporters #sfdsponsor
01.01.2022 A huge THANKYOU to Ritchies for their support of SOMERVILLE FAMILY DAY. By making us your recipient choice you are helping us and your community. As we are NOT FOR PROFIT and DONATE OUR PROFITS to our community, you are helping by building that donation kitty. You don’t need to carry a card, you can store it on your phone. Too easy.
