DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Kia Ora everyone!
This issue is all about our transition to the new place and everything that
has been happening at Clubhouse in the last months.
We have finally moved to our new Clubhouse! It sure was a big mission
transitioning to our new location especially that Covid-19 lockdown was in
place. However, because of the combined efforts of some members that went
out of their way just to help the staff, it made it easier to finish the job.
Our work-ordered day has slightly changed, as we have restructured everything
to suit the new Clubhouse’s needs. It has opened the door for us to do new
group activities throughout the day and allowed staff to be able to allocate
more time in supporting our members. Something new that we have
introduced in Clubhouse is our “member for the week”. A way to recognize our
members’ efforts and participation in Clubhouse.
In line our celebration for Founder’s day together with the opening of
the new Clubhouse, we held our first ever Arahura Day. We had a lot of member
that came to this event with our residential service joining us as well.
We have also done Pink Shirt day and held a weeklong Matariki
celebration in honor of the Maori New year being a holiday for the first time.
We even had our own oven hangi that everybody loved. Our social recreation
and twilight dinners are on full swing again. Karaoke Fridays and Kiwi Breakfast
is also back together with our friendly food truck Kiwi Harvest that now comes
on Mondays.
There are heaps of upcoming events for us here at Clubhouse and for
those who haven’t seen the new place yet come on over and see what our new
Clubhouse has to offer! We look forward to seeing everyone soon.
Mickie,
Director.
