Hello everyone!
The year at Wollangarra is starting to wrap up! The final courses are being run and young people and supporters are gearing up to farewell the wonderful staff of 2015 and greet the 2016 crew! But that doesn't mean things are slowing down! Young people have been working hard, not to mention the staff who have been spending much needed time around the property making sure that all those second hand buildings are remaining solid! The garden is producing bountiful amounts of veg and the fruit is ripening on the trees. If you are free in January, come up for the Fruit bottling weekend where we turn all that delicious fruit and garden produce into delectable james and chutneys (see the Wollangarra website or Facebook page for more details).
As we reach the end of another year, it is esciting to look back and see all the good that has come out of Wollangarra over the past 12 months. Due to wonderful leadership by Dan Abikair, hard work and committment by the staff and loads of help from volunteers and young people Wollangarra is in a fantastic place, and is set to offer many more young people a brilliant and life changing experience next year.
Please consider donating to Wollangarra before the year is out. As you all know Wollangarra has always been, and will always be not for profit. What Wollangarra offers to young people is impossible to put a monotory label on though Wollangarra does need to be continually supported by the wider community to keep on offering such special experiences. Also estra funds are especially needed for a few building fixer-uppers and items for preparation for the fire season.
Thank-you for reading this update, but remember the best way to get a proper update is to come and visit! Have a look on the website for future event dates, but also feel free to call Wollangarra and arrange a time to come and have a visit!
Merry Christmas to everyone!
