This annual tradition is much anticipated by Nanyima Aged Care Community residents and the Mirani community. Family members, as well as residents and staff from other aged care communities in Mackay, are invited join in the festivities, and what fun we had at this year’s event!
Spirits were high as the prizes were drawn, many of which were donated by local businesses and residents’ families. Adding to the bounty of goodies were beautiful plants, proudly potted by the residents. Everyone enjoyed a delicious homemade morning tea carefully prepared by our dedicated volunteers.
Tanya, Lifestyle Lead, said the event is always a popular part of the Lifestyle Calendar, with the money raised used directly to benefit residents.
“This year, we’re using the funds raised to put towards a special event later in the year. I won’t reveal too much just yet, but we’re looking forward to welcoming some very cute visitors!” she said.
Our gratitude goes to Mirani Meats, Mirani Pharmacy, Kidney Foundation OP Shop, Gargett CWA, Bidfoods, Coll Plumbing, Noy Electrical, Kookaburra Store and Vegies Unlimited for their generous support and donations.
And a special thank you goes to the residents, staff, volunteers and family members who ensured the event was fun and successful!
