Message from our President:
I want to wish all our Friends of Eaglemont Village best wishes for a safe and enjoyable Christmas, wherever you're planning to spend the break.
I also want to send a message of thanks to all our supporters, working bee volunteers and committee members for the wonderful work you do in helping us to enhance the area around Eaglemont station and village, and help us to advocate for and promote Eaglemont.
We are fortunate to have such a wonderful community amongst Friends of Eaglemont.
We look forward to seeing you at our working bees in the new year and of course getting together for a well earned cuppa afterwards.
Best wishes and Merry Christmas
Steve Cullen President, Friends of Eaglemont Village
THANK YOU
People who have helped us with various gardening tasks include Kenna, Evelyn and Yannee. They've spent an hour a week over several months volunteering with us for their Duke of Edinburgh Awards. We are very grateful for their help with LOTS of weeding and some watering, planting, propagating and mulching along both Sherwood Rd and Alandale Rd. All the lovely rain we've had this year meant the weeds grew prolifically, and the extra hands and working bee time the girls put in has meant we've been able to get some semblance of control!
