Glenview Grapevine September/October

If you would like to receive this newsletter via email please email your email address to inh@inh.org.au Please put Resident Newsletter as the Subject Title Welcome Hello Friends and welcome to the issue of the Glenview Grapevine. The birds are chirping, the sun is shining and the flowers are in full bloom. Spring has arrived with residents embracing the chance to enjoy the sunshine and outdoors. Residents have been enjoying their regular morning strolls in the sunshine and sipping wine, beer and soft drink over our Tuesday BBQ lunches on our new and improved balcony. The Residents are delighted with the outdoor balcony improvements thanks to the tireless fund raising of The Friends of Glenview Auxiliary and our hard working Environmental Services Team. The improvements include a lovely array of sensory plants that appeal to touch and smell as well as potted colour, wind chimes and sun catchers. Residents have also been sharing delicious picnic lunches prepared by our wonderful Catering Team on our Bird Watching outings to Benalla and Yarrawonga. Resident have also tapped, sang and clapped along to musical favourites during our regular monthly Morning Melodies sessions at the Corowa RSL Club, our regular in house entertainer Kaylene Katzer and a lovely Sunday morning visit from Chiltern Singers. History hour at Corowa Federation Museum has been a step back in time for our History Buffs and of course who can pass up the homemade Anzac Bickies and a cuppa. We recently learnt some interesting facts about the History of The Corowa Chocolate & Whiskey Factory. Which was once a Flour Mill employing many of our locals. Grapevine Newsletter Page 1 of 11

The Winner of our hotly contested Glenview Footy Tipping Companion was announced recently during our Annual Footy Finals Fever Day. Once again Rutherglen Cats Football Club President Mr Greg Lumby did the honours of presenting the shield to this year s winner Mrs Cheryl Lister, who was delighted with her efforts. Hot on her heels in 2 nd place was Mr George Westerway and 3 rd place Mr Graeme Fraser. Of course Cheryl now has her name on the shield and the bragging rights to go with it. While some of us are left holding the wooden spoon, at least some we are consistent! The day was full of colour, fun and atmosphere with many residents dressing up in their favourite footy team colours, and there were JUST A FEW Tigers supporters, along with their mascot. The Rutherglen outside School Hours children joined residents for a good old hand balling comp, footy bingo and a footy feast of pies, sausage rolls, quiches, apple crumble and fairy cakes. So, once again, we have had a hive of activity with thanks to the support of our dedicated team of committed staff and volunteers. Until next time, Please take care. Kind regards, The Leisure and Lifestyle Team. Grapevine Newsletter Page 2 of 11
