More than 150 local senior residents attended a morning tea at the Narre Warren Bowls Club and to listen to guest speaker Dr Richard Weston and hear from special guest Julian Hill MP Federal Member for Bruce.
Dr Weston talked about staying active and engaged in life and he emphasised the importance of supporting friends and neighbours to keep interested and connected in their neighbourhoods and communities.
Julian Hill explained the federal boundary changes and his role as the Federal Member for Bruce that now incorporates Narre Warren, Endeavour Hills and Hallam.
The morning tea was also a great opportunity for participants to catch up with their local Member of Parliament, Luke Donnellan and share concerns they may have.
“The important message from Dr Richard Weston on staying engaged and active was delivered with such energy and humour – a great lead in to the upcoming 2018 Victorian Seniors Festival,” Mr Donnellan said.
“It’s great to see so many local residents attend today to catch up with old friends and make new connections.”
As well, the Endeavour Hills Men’s Shed had a display of their local works in the community including recycling pallets into children’s tepees for reading or playing in and are in demand with local children’s services.
