Springbrook School P&C Election Day BBQ and Bake Sale, at the school yesterday was a wonderful success! Thanks to all you Springbrookians who turned up, bought bacon and egg rolls, sausages on bread and wiped out the home baked goodies! The P&C is thrilled with the amount they made and love the people who had had breakfast, were on a diet or on their way out but made a cash donation anyway. The way Springbrook supports it's own is great to see. Feel free to drop a donation direct to the school if you missed out yesterday!
The Springbrook Community Library will be on this Wednesday, 10am to 2pm in the hall. Natalie is happy to read stories to any kids who come along at any time. We've had lots of donations recently (Thanks Eva) so theres some new books for you to browse!
Who saw the under ground tanks go in to the new amenities block this week? Amazing stuff! Can wait to see what happens next. We'll check with Blake, the site foreman and see if we can get a date and time for the next round of things to watch out for!
Who enjoyed the decorated letterboxes this week? Lots of fun and some very creative people live up here. Letterbox decorating is a low key way to connect with the whole community. Melbourne Cup next week, what chippy, horsey ideas do you have? Remembrance Day is coming up on November 11th. It would be nice to see the poppies out on letterboxes again for that one!
The first Tuesday of the month is the day to join up with the SES. They meet in the SES shed every Tuesday for training at 7pm. Mostly hands on but with all the normal paperwork stuff in the first few weeks, the training nights involve dummy, ropes, stretchers and cups of tea. Come along and check them out this Thursday. Only another month or so of training before they break for the Christmas Holidays so this is a good week to get involved!
Remembrance Day is not far away. Wednesday, November 11th at 11am. Remember Armistice Day by attending a small ceremony at the Cenotaph if you can.
Melbourne Cup next week, Tuesday November 3rd. Any events planned? Any Cafes doing a Melbourne Cup lunch for locals? Let us know!
