COMMUNITY STRENGTH ON SHOW AT DROMANA COMMUNITY AGM

12 September 2023

Dromana Community House was bursting at the seams with members, guests, community groups, and friends of the house on the 4th of September for their Annual General Meeting. 

The committee was elected from their more than 70 volunteers to continue the magnificent work happening at the "Little House with the Big Heart.” 

This passionate group of leaders will continue to make a positive impact by shaping local community activities.  

Guest speaker Member for Eastern Victoria Tom McIntosh MP spoke about the importance of community connection and the strength of community volunteers.  

From Foodbank to kinder, cooking to boomerang bags, the work and support of the house is making the community stronger and making a real difference. 

The House delivers essential support for the community, but they are also growing a sense of community by providing a beautiful place to come together. 

House Manager Tracey once again proved her team are some of the best in the business when it comes to delivering programs.  

Tracey highlighted that making connections with schools, students, businesses, and the community garden has been the highlight of the year for her. The investment in the Grab and Go meals for our community is one of the new ways that the house is helping to meet the needs of the Mornington Peninsula community. The program was established with support from the Southern Peninsula Bendigo Bank. 

Through these services and taking the time to listen and understand the local community, the House continues to grow from strength to strength.
