Greetings from Cerberus Cottage Family & Friends!
Luna Park
April Edition
Thank you to all the families who joined us on the 28th of March at Luna Park.
Eighty four people attended, our best turn out yet. Many families went by train
and tram and others arrived on their own accord.
The weather was perfect and the sun shone all day long. We had two birthday
parties held on the day also, so a big happy birthday to the birthday girls. We
love holding these adventure days and are in the process of organizing our next
adventure.
Do you have a place you would like to go? We would love to hear your ideas?
Change of Committee
We would like to formally welcome Alice to our committee. Alice has chosen
to become a general member.
We would also like to welcome Pia. Pia has come along and chosen to take
the place of Vice President
We also welcome Di to or committee. Di has offered to be our playgroup coordinator.
Lastly we would like to welcome Christine to our team. Christine has taken
over as secretary.
Thank you ladies for giving up a few hours a month and being part of this
team as the more people who can give just a few hours to help us bring the
best groups, and recourses to the community the more we can offer.
Luna Park
This means we sadly say goodbye to Zoe. Zoe has done a fantastic job in her
role as playgroup coordinator and will be missed by many parents and children.
Thank you Isabelle for all the time and effort you have put in this past year.
It is appreciated and you have bought many changes into this community
house. We wish you luck with your studies and adventures ahead.
Finally we say thank you to Sharon. Her commitment to other volunteer
roles, working and being a mum, means she does not have enough time to
be everywhere and at the same time. So we sadly see her leave her official
role but will continue to see her here as a member. Thank you for your
time and dedication.

A Note from our President
Hi All.
Firstly let me introduce myself. My name is Krystyl and I am now the current President of the Cerberus Cottage. I have live a defence life all my life and I am originally from Perth.
We have had so much fun happen over the last school holiday period. Luna Park was a hit and I have heard
nothing but good feedback from everyone who attended.
We have coffee morning coming up first one back on the 27th April at 11am. This is for anyone to attend and
feel free to bring one morning tea or nibblies to share. Kids are welcome but please note nothing is structured for them. But don’t forget Playgroup is on Every Wednesday during the school terms.
On a sad note this month we say good bye to Sharon our treasurer and I wish to thank you for all that you
have done and wish you all the best and wish you luck for your future endeavours.
And also we will be saying bye to Zoe who has been our awesome playgroup coordinator. Thank you Zoe for
all the wonderful work you have done and wish you all the best for next step in your adventures..
I would also like to welcome a few new members to our committee. Pia as our Vice President, Christen as
our Secretary , Di as our playgroup coordinator and Alice as a general committee member. I look forward to
working with you all.
We have a Bunning BBQ on the 31st May and need volunteers to help out so if you can please let us know.
I hope you all have had a wonderful Easter and all have a safe Anzac day.
Kind regards
Krystyl

ANZAC Day 2015 25 April 2015, 06:00AM
Commemorating the
Centenary of Gallipoli
ANZAC Day, originally a commemoration of the landing of Australian and New Zealand forces at Gallipoli on the 25th April 1915, has grown to become perhaps the most important national day in Australia. In addition to recognising the service and sacrifice of
all Australians who have served in war or on peacekeeping operations ANZAC Day has become core to the identity of
Australia itself, a day on which Australians reflect on the ANZAC spirit and its place in Australia today.
This Anzac Day marks an important milestone: the centenary of the Gallipoli ANZAC landing on the 25th April, 1915.
Attend the Anzac Day dawn service to commemorate the service and sacrifice of all Australian service men and
women. On this day, we honour and reflect on the impact of war, conflict and peacekeeping operations in Australia’s history.
6am Dawn Service (MC pre-amble starts from 5.40am)
On the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings, join millions across the world to honour Australian service and
sacrifice. One minute of silence will be observed. It is recommended that visitors assemble on the Shrine Forecourt
between 4am - 5am.
