We’ve had a big first week back and it began on Monday with our Global Kitchen session where we learnt how to make Shanghai Soup Dumplings!

The amazing Molly showed us a variety of ways to make these little pork, mushroom and veggie packages complete with condiments! We will repeat the session at a later date as there’s plenty of variations we could try.

All our groups returned - chatty cafe, games, charity crafters, crochet, art, exercise, spinning and cardmaking plus we had our 45th AGM.

Tomorrow we will have our Baking Morning Tea session and the team are making Carrot and Walnut Slice to enjoy with a cuppa and a chat, with some for Moongala’s freezer. If you would like to join in, (or for any other of our activities) just give us a quick call! 95703468 or [email protected]

✨Our 45th Annual General Meeting✨was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate another year at Moongala!

Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, our wonderful staff and volunteers who helped organise the day, our inaugural Board for their hard work and commitment and our incoming Board for taking on this important role as we look to the year ahead.

We are deeply grateful to our funders, supporters and the wider community for their ongoing contribution to Moongala.

A very special highlight was awarding Jules Walker Life Membership in recognition of her extraordinary 37 years of dedicated service, care and commitment to our Moongala community. Congratulations, Jules, and thank you for everything you have given to the House over so many years. 💐

Thank you to everyone who makes Moongala such a special place. Here’s to continuing to connecting, caring and sharing! 💜
