July—September 2014
Welcome to our winter edition of The Heights Newsletter. We have been busy
planning this coming term’s program which is packed with many exciting
activities, outings and events. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the
talented and committed volunteers who work very hard to ensure our local
community has access to as many services as possible in a friendly and
welcoming environment.

This term we’d like to congratulate “Amistad Latina” our Spanish Speaking
Seniors Group who fundraised over $1000 by hosting the Australia’s Biggest
Morning Tea. Also congratulations to “Canley Heights Community Group” for
donating over $2000 to various local charity organisations. Their hard work and
generosity proved that acting alone, we can’t do much to help the less fortunate,
but collectively, we can achieve amazing things.
