An update: it has been a busy week of coming and goings as several resos have transferred from one house to another (lovely that we now have the scope to do this to house people still more appropriately) and a few resos have moved on to pastures new. In my last Heartbeat I mentioned that we have a Hamer reso we are keen to see move on as this reso’s influence on the house is somewhat detrimental – this remains a work in progress. This week I showed 2 workers from McCauley Women’s Housing around Hamer and Romana – they were given much food for thought with how our model operates; I am hoping we can develop this relationship still further. I caught up with my main contact at Council this week to talk about the now doomed Servants/Boroondara Cares housing venture – I will allow our President to elaborate on this development via a Heartbeat if he deems it necessary. I have had further discussions this week with potential Housekeepers of the future. Plans are now well developed for Carols @ Carrical on the evening of Sunday 13th December. A gentleman we have been in discussions with for several years in regards to the possibility of him becoming a reso ……… finally moved in this week. Hurrah!! It’s always lovely when you see a plan come together. Amanda remains in the tranquility of Nepal and the Hislops return from a week’s well deserved break on Saturday 6th. We have now been officially confirmed as the recipient for the 4th straight year of Josh Frydenberg’s Christmas Giving Tree Appeal – the Jewish Father Christmas indeed he is!! That is the update.
