On December 11th we celebrated a very happy Christmas / end of year lunch at The Aldinga Institute. Everyone contributed to make it a very special day full of shared friendships, food and gifts.
The theme for the day was 'An Australian Christmas' and everyone entered into the spirit of the day. The hall was full of the scent of Gum tree as everyone enjoyed playing the Aussie themed games.
While we had no way of knowing, this was to be the last day many of us would share with our friend AdeleProbert. Unfortunately, Adele passed away peacefully a few days later and I am glad to have the wonderful memories of Adele that this day provided. Adele had spent many weeks planning and organising our wonderful Aussie 'Christmas Tree, and her husband Trevor had given his morning helping Adele and Maureen decorate the tree and transform the hall into an Aussie bush Christmas.
I'd hate to leave anyone out, so I'll just
say a big Thank You for all the contributions that made this day a very special one.
