Live Well !!!

Good morning everyone on this lovely Friday the 13th....

Today is the first meeting of a new program entitled - Live Well -
to be held each Friday, for the next seven weeks, between 10am - 2pm,
at Beenleigh Neighbourhood Centre, Mansfield Walk (off Kent St)
in Beenleigh, phone (07) 3287 2840.

This program is inclusive of people from many different ethnic backgrounds....
it is all about living well as the name suggests....and how better to begin to live
well than to eat well. Each week will feature a cooking demonstration by
various members, who will cook one of their favourite national dishes.

And then comes the best part ....for all you 'foodies' like me....
after the demonstration we will all sit down for lunch...... to share the meal.....
and to learn something of the culture and traditions from that particular country.
Today's program, Friday 13th April, will feature some wonderful traditional
recipes from Sri Lanka....mmmm !!!!

But this program is not just about eating.....we hope that this group will grow
and develop....sharing their stories and contributing ideas for other programs
of interest to people in the Beenleigh Community. All the recipes featured
in the program will be collected together into a cookery book....which will be
sold to raise money for future programs.

So if you are a little bored with your life right now?....think you might make
a few changes?....need to meet some new friends?.....want to participate more
in your community?.....

Give Lucretia a call at the Beenleigh Neighbourhood Centre
on 3287 2840....Come along and join our group..... find out about other
activities run at the Centre....or talk to Lucretia about any idea you may
have for another group or activity....

We look forward to meeting you !!!!

Hi Elle-em,
I have just discovered and read your Beenleigh blog with interest. As a local myself you may be interested in the new community website "www.myonline .com.au" . Locally formulated it encourages clubs and organisations to come online by offering a free webpage for their use, free classifieds, find a business plus much more. Something we have needed for some time. As it grows in popularity it will be a great tool as a communicator and to be able to find what businesses however small are available in Beenleigh and surrounds, will be a blessing. Take a peek and tell your friends.
