RSL Care Inverpine Serves Up Delicious Fare at the Annual Winter Fun Fair

on the Tuesday, June 21, 2016

On Saturday 11 June, RSL Care Inverpine at Murrumba Downs hosted their annual fundraiser the famous Winter Fair. Each year the event raises funds to support extra programs for the Residents.

This year the Inverpine staff, residents and volunteers were raising funds for a new community garden where they hope to grow flowers, fresh herbs and vegetables.

The Winter Fair featured a pop up coffee shop selling teas, coffees and homemade scones. There was also a cake stall with a range of delicious cakes, biscuits, jams, sweets and more.

Residents also raffled a beautiful handmade quilt which took one lady three months to stitch by hand.

Volunteers also sold knitted hats, scarves, booties, baby clothing and socks next to an arts and crafts stand.

Event organisers and Diversional Therapists Annie Van Kruining and Nina Rerberger look forward to the event every year.

“It is so amazing how involved our residents are in fundraising activities, they take great pride in these events,” Annie said.

“They also love the connection they have to the community; we have so many people come in for the Fair and the residents love to stop and chat,” Nina said.

“The Winter Fair would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of the Murrumba Downs volunteers who spent days collecting items for the jumble sale, baking sweets and knitting their hearts out.

“Their dedication and commitment to the residents and staff is nothing short of outstanding.”
