Friday update

2 more places have been offered and accepted at Romana.

A new resident, Wayne, moved into Carrical today to replace Dennis. Carrical remains a very somber place at present as the community there comes to terms with the passing of Dennis.

8 months thru the fin year now and we have to date totaled 24 empty room nights across Carrical and Hamer.

The collections from the 2 recently held Chapel Services @ Carey brought in slightly over $2500 for Servants.

Bunnings, Rotary, Deloitte and Carey are among the absolute embarrassment of riches we have at our disposal to help get Romana ready for Opening Day.

The need for additional housing in Boroondara for those on low incomes is becoming still greater. Word from workers at the present time is that this is the worst they have ever seen – they are almost falling over one another to have their clients housed at Romana.

Narrative project has enjoyed a very positive week. To day I met with Epicure, the caterer for the launch. Next week I meet again with Southern Color to discuss prices/paper grades etc. An additional school this week joined the cast of writers. All exciting stuff.

A team from the Justice Dept has chosen Servants as their charity of choice for this year. Nice!

Servants is, mostly, a happening, fun place to be around at the present time!
