What are you planning to do this year for Anzac Day?
Blackwood RSL will be conducting a traditional service at Coromandel
Valley War Memorial, 442 Main Road, Coromandel Valley at 9am. After
the service, all are invited to enjoy a hot beverage and morning tea at
the Coromandel Community Centre. Stay on until noon to enjoy the
displays, entertainment, food and activities on offer.
Bec Watt (previously known as BecJM) and her jazz band will perform songs from the war era.
performance will bring back memories and inspire audience members to sing and dance along.
This
Children and adults can get involved in meaningful activities, specifically designed to commemorate and
celebrate Anzac day 2015. They will be encouraged to make a commemorative wreath which can be either
laid at the War memorial or taken home. There will also be a photo booth where people can pay respect to the
meaning of Anzac, by sharing their thoughts on message boards.
Meanwhile in and around the Centre history buffs will be able to connect with the history of the Anzacs and
other defence personnel from the region, through multimedia interaction, displays and interpretive boards,
created by our enthusiastic and passionate National Trust of Coromandel Valley, partners and others.
Finish off the morning with a sausage sizzle lunch, coordinated by Coromandel Valley Rotary volunteers.
This event is open to all ages and is a time to reflect on and celebrate our freedom.
The day is funded by contributions from the community, in particular Blackwood Freemasons and support from
The City of Onkaparinga, Coromandel Valley Rotary Club and a team of volunteers from different
organisations. Donations are welcome on the day.
Website upgrade
We are excited to be announcing our new webpage; www.coroalive.org.au
We hope you like the new style and format of the site. However, it is a ‘work in progress’ so please bear with
us during this transitional period.
The webpage has a comprehensive list of all adult and children’s courses and activities available at the centre.
We believe it is more user friendly and will provide the community with a broader range of information about
the Centre, surrounding activities and organisations.
Feel free to provide us with any relevant feedback; positive or negative.
Don’t forget to ‘like’ us on our facebook page, and share posts with others that may benefit.
