Dear friends of SpringDale and friends I have yet to meet,

As Last year finished with a flurry of activity, a dynamic team of volunteers helped to create more than 1,200 Christmas meals, which were served or delivered to community members. The meals were very well received by a wide range of people and I was so excited when our two final meals for approximately 200 people generated less than 6 litres of peelings or food scraps. (I was way too excited about this! To me it means we cooked the right food, presented the right amount and it was well received. Facts like this helps with evaluations.) Thank you to City of Greater Geelong for supporting this initiative with a Christmas Grant. Thank you to the many volunteers who helped make more than 500 single serve Christmas puddings (20% were gluten free and dairy free) and all our main meals. Some volunteers helped once and some helped with many meals.

Near the end of the year, SpringDale held its 35th Annual General Meeting, giving us a chance to reflect on many of the regular activities, partnerships, classes and events that were enjoyed in the previous 12 months.
