As part of this year’s Seniors Festival, Life Activities Club Knox is opening the doors of Wattle Hall in Ferntree Gully, for a special open day on Wednesday, 8 October.
This free event will run from 2pm to 4.30pm and is designed to offer the local community a chance to see what the club has to offer, all while celebrating the joy of connection and activity for seniors in the region.
Life Activities Club Knox’s secretary, Sandra O’Donnell said the open day provides an opportunity for both current members and the wider public to explore the club’s activities.
“It’s a chance for people to pop in, have a look around, enjoy some afternoon tea, and meet our members who will be on hand to explain what we do,” Ms O’Donnell said.
The event will feature a range of activities, including a walking tour of the local area, led by a small group from the club’s Friday walkers.
Attendees can join in the walk at 2.30 pm, or simply stay at the hall and enjoy other offerings.
The afternoon tea, which will be served at 3pm, is included in the event, with a gold coin donation at the door to help cover the costs.
A highlight of the open day will be a display of artwork from four of the club’s talented members, with some pieces available for sale.
“If we sell anything, great, but if not, that’s no problem at all,” Ms O’Donnell said.
For those who can’t make it to the event in person, a promotional video will be shown, highlighting the activities and opportunities provided by Life Activities Club Victoria, which the Knox club is a part of.
The Wattle Hall, located at 160 Underwood Road, in Ferntree Gully, is fully accessible for people with disabilities, to ensure everyone has the opportunity to participate.
Ms O’Donnell is encouraging anyone interested to come along and see what they offer.
“It’s a great chance for people to get out of their homes, meet new people, and maybe discover an activity they enjoy,” she said.
Attendees are not required to register in advance, but it is encouraged, particularly for catering purposes.
