Sherwood Neighbourhood Centre Celebrated it's 30th Anniversary with
"A Pearl of an Evening" in conjunction with
the Annual General Meeting on Wenesday 5th August 2009

The halls were festooned with pearl coloured balloons and press articles and pictures
from past to present decorated the front hall to be admired and commented on
by everyone while enjoying pre-dinner drinks and nibbles.

Following the formalities our distinguished guests joined with the newly elected
management committee and members and friends of the centre to be treated
to an historic powerpoint presentation showing the growth of the centre
from it's humble beginnings to the present day.

Foundation members were acknowledged and tributes given to three of our
volunteers who sadly passed away this year.
Everyone then enjoyed a 3-course meal while being entertained by
a local Jazz Trio followed by a progressive raffle
with all the prizes donated by the local business community.

Our SEALS group celebrated their 10th anniversary with a BBQ lunch in our courtyard
on a beautiful sunny day on 11th August.

What a wonderful turnout of nearly 100 people to help us celebrate
National Neighbourhood Week and National Volunteer Week on Wednesday 13th May.
Julie Attwood, State Member for Mt Ommaney (a long time supporter of the centre)
and Councillor Nicole Johnson of Tennyson Ward were present to officially open our
new Community Courtyard with the unveiling of a magnificent plinth
depicting many aspects of the Neighbourhood Centre thanks to
countless hours of work by our Western Suburbs Clay Workers group.
