In just over 2 weeks, we will all be celebrating 40 amazing years of Currumbena.
It has been such a pleasure speaking with ex-students who are all so excited to come back and
share stories from their times here, I’ve heard some great tales. Kirsten Lees has unearthed
some amazing archival treasures as well as years of interesting press items. One of the original
founders of the school, David Cohen, is making the trip to Sydney by car from Adelaide with his wife
to come and celebrate with us. Thank you so much to all the people that have come together to help
to organise this so far. We will need lots of help on the day, and in particular to pack up and clean up
afterwards (as it will be a school day the next day).
We are kicking off the day at 12pm with a big shared lunch and we are asking the current Currambena community to contribute food – just like at our socials. The school will be putting on a bbq – sausages and bread – and we are going to be charging $5 per head or $15 per family, to cover the costs for the day. There will also be a bar running and a coffee cart.
We are hoping for around 200 people. So to cater for these numbers, we are asking the whole community to contribute to the lunch. There will be a list up on the notice board on Monday where you can allocate what type of food you would like to bring (ie salad/ pasta/ casserole etc). We would love it if all families could bring at least one dish ( to feed 10 people) and possibly a dessert as well. Knowing what amazing food we get at the socials, this lunch is sure to be a fabulous community feast!!!
We need volunteers for the following things;
Someone to do sound, set up mic. and PA, and music.
Someone to organise a data projector and laptop to play the archival footage which is being converted to dvd.
Hire of tables and chairs, does anyone know where we got these from for the fair?
A few BBQ Kings or Queens to cook sausages!
Someone to clear tables and empty bins occasionally.
Someone to keep the food tables looking appetising
Please let me know if you can help, i’ll be in the office on Friday
or let me know by email karen@giveorganic.com.au
Thanks, Karen.
