Farewell to Anne Fleetwood<br />
A warm welcome is extended to you all.<br />
After much deliberation, Anne Fleetwood decided to hang<br />
up her chef's cap on Friday, September 16. Anne started<br />
working at the Citizens Centre on 11 January 1999 and, in<br />
that, time has managed to churn out an amazing 88,000<br />
plus meals.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Centre celebrated with a farewell for Anne combined<br />
with a thank you to our volunteers on Wednesday, 14<br />
September, at the Arkaba hotel.<br />
It was a tearful week with so many people that Anne had<br />
to farewell including a number <strong>of</strong> volunteers whom she has<br />
worked closely with during the past 12 years. Centre<br />
patrons also grew to love her, and her catering contacts.<br />
We wish Anne all the best for her retirement and hope she<br />
now has time to “stop and smell the roses”.<br />

My Volunteer Experience<br />
Maria Giuliani, Community<br />
Services Officer (left) with<br />
Anne Kong<br />
Since 7 July 2011, I<br />
have volunteered<br />
at the <strong>Unley</strong><br />
Citizens Centre<br />
Circuit Meal<br />
Service preparing<br />
food and serving<br />
afternoon tea two<br />
days a week. I<br />
enjoy helping<br />
others and, at the<br />
same time, I am<br />
learning many<br />
new things from the friendly management team,<br />
volunteers and the caring patrons.<br />
I have learnt to cook chicken with tomatoes and<br />
now I cook it at home for my husband. He loves it<br />
and gives the “thumbs up”. This is a brand new<br />
experience and very different from my Asian<br />
dishes.<br />
Participating in volunteer work is the ideal way to<br />
integrate into the local community and develop<br />
an understanding <strong>of</strong> the differences in culture.<br />
Kim, my sister, who lives in Malaysia, agrees with<br />
me as she also experienced volunteering during<br />
her first stay in <strong>Sa</strong>cramento in the USA about 10<br />
years ago. Moreover, I have the full support from<br />
my husband.<br />
Through volunteering, I have made many new<br />
friends. Most are easy to mix with bec<strong>au</strong>se <strong>of</strong><br />
their friendly nature. I always look forward to<br />
going to the Centre even though it is just twice a<br />
week. I enjoy the one hour walk each day where<br />
I guess it is the best time to “stop and smell the<br />
flowers”. My volunteer experience has shown me<br />
that I can bring joy to older people and this<br />
reminds me <strong>of</strong> my parents in Malaysia.<br />
I was very impressed when I received an<br />
invitation titled "Volunteers Change the World"<br />
from Kate Grivell, Centre Coordinator. <strong>The</strong> event<br />
was to farewell Anne Fleetwood on her<br />
retirement and to acknowledge the Centre<br />
volunteers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> gesture <strong>of</strong> appreciation by the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Unley</strong><br />
touches me.<br />

100 and Not Out!<br />
I first met Eileen in 1999 when I drove the <strong>Unley</strong><br />
Community Bus and took her and several ladies<br />
to the Library. Always happy and cheerful, we<br />
<strong>of</strong>ten finished the afternoon with a c<strong>of</strong>fee in the<br />
<strong>Unley</strong> Shopping Centre. Eileen shared lots <strong>of</strong><br />
stories about her life and, being a good cook,<br />
she gave me lots <strong>of</strong> recipes! Over the years, we<br />
have become good friends and go out for lunch<br />
occasionally. I now visit her regularly since she<br />
moved out <strong>of</strong> her home at Black Forest last year,<br />
after 37½ years and into low care at Resthaven<br />
at Westbourne Park.<br />
Eileen was born on March 6, 1911 at Two Wells<br />
into a family <strong>of</strong> four children. She attended<br />
Kilburn School and later worked at Spicers and<br />
Detmold, a packaging company. While working<br />
there she married Walter Amber, firstly living in<br />
Prospect and later at Black Forest. <strong>The</strong>y had one<br />
son, who has three children, and now Eileen has<br />
five great<br />
grandchildren<br />
whom she sees<br />
<strong>of</strong>ten.<br />
Marie with her special friend<br />
Eileen<br />
Eileen and<br />
Walter loved<br />
travelling<br />
extensively<br />
throughout<br />
Australia in their<br />
caravan. I<br />
have always<br />
been impressed by the amount <strong>of</strong> walking Eileen<br />
does. When living at Black Forest she regularly<br />
c<strong>au</strong>ght a tram to Glenelg, went for a walk along<br />
the beach, ate a fish meal and then returned<br />
home. Even now at Resthaven she regularly<br />
walks around the block.<br />
Eileen is enjoying Resthaven. She has made<br />
many friends, participates in craft activities,<br />
keeps up to date with her beloved “Crows” and<br />
is involved in exercise classes.<br />
Eileen is an inspirational lady who is in good<br />
health. She is very special to me, and enjoys<br />
each day as it comes.<br />

Clarence Park Childcare<br />
Centre<br />
Todd the dinos<strong>au</strong>r, the policeman,<br />
and the aspiring teacher.<br />
Howdy all, for most <strong>of</strong> you who don’t know my<br />
name, it is Todd. I would like to begin with<br />
extending my thanks to Karen, the <strong>Unley</strong><br />
Volunteer Management Officer, for asking me to<br />
write a small something and everyone else for<br />
giving me the unforgettable memories which are<br />
the inspiration for what you are about to read.<br />
This year started with my becoming a volunteer<br />
for the <strong>Unley</strong> <strong>City</strong> Council, a step that has led me<br />
past many smiles. At first, I was helping with the<br />
Tuesday morning ‘Storytime’ at the <strong>Unley</strong> library,<br />
which holds a nostalgic flavour from my youth. As<br />
a young child, I myself used to attend these<br />
Storytime sessions and it is just as I remember it,<br />
enchanting. I stayed, as a volunteer, with the<br />
YAC (youth advisory committee) team for about<br />
6 months in total and will never forget the time I<br />
spent there, the <strong>Unley</strong> Library is magic. I recently<br />
started back at study and as a result my Tuesday<br />
mornings became cluttered with large books<br />
and inkless pens, a far cry from my favourite<br />
cupboard filled with crayons, glitter, jellybean<br />
table clothes and endless things that make<br />
‘Storytime’ a wish come true.<br />
However, now my Wednesdays are as sporadic<br />
as they are enjoyable. I currently volunteer at<br />
Clarence Park Child Care Centre, and feel all<br />
too <strong>of</strong>ten as if I am being taken care <strong>of</strong>. This<br />
place is for me what Neverland is for Peter Pan, a<br />
place where you stop growing up and start<br />
having fun. <strong>The</strong> combination <strong>of</strong> children’s voices<br />
speaking over one another until it becomes a an<br />
in<strong>au</strong>dible clatter <strong>of</strong> sound mixed with the small<br />
sized tables and chairs along with some fruit, a<br />
sand pit, paint, and general wonder makes for<br />
what can only be described as ‘Clarence Park<br />
Child Care Centre’. <strong>The</strong> experiences I have had<br />
since becoming a volunteer with <strong>Unley</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />
Council are among some <strong>of</strong> the most fulfilling<br />
and gratifying I have ever had. It has made me<br />
realize that I want to study primary education in<br />
order to become a primary teacher, and for that<br />
I am forever grateful. Once again I would like to<br />
thank everyone who helped me, and would<br />
encourage anyone who is interested in possibly<br />
becoming a volunteer to do so, it is unlike<br />
anything else.<br />
Museum: Corporate<br />
Volunteering<br />
TODD TRIVIC<br />
On Tuesday, 4 October, I had<br />
the opportunity to volunteer<br />
for the day at the <strong>Unley</strong><br />
Museum as part <strong>of</strong> Westpac's<br />
corporate volunteer<br />
program. This program gives<br />
all Westpac and Bank SA<br />
employees the opportunity to<br />
utilise one day <strong>of</strong> volunteer<br />
leave to assist the<br />
community. This can be used<br />
to help in many ways including assisting at a<br />
school, participating in fundraising activities or<br />
even setting up a museum exhibit as I did!<br />
It was such a rewarding experience to learn<br />
more about <strong>Unley</strong> Museum and meet the people<br />
who work there, especially Elizabeth the curator<br />
and the fabulous team <strong>of</strong> volunteers. I spent the<br />
first half <strong>of</strong> the day cleaning exhibit pieces and<br />
display cabinets. I only wish my windows at home<br />
were as clean as the cabinets by the time I<br />
finished!<br />
<strong>The</strong> second half <strong>of</strong> the day comprised <strong>of</strong> setting<br />
up the items in the exhibit itself, which really<br />
brought together all the earlier work. Looking at<br />
the pieces hung and displayed enabled us to<br />
truly appreciate each <strong>of</strong> them. <strong>The</strong> exhibit is '100<br />
years <strong>of</strong> Goody Screamers' and includes<br />
premiership trophies, guernseys, photographs<br />
and other pieces <strong>of</strong> memorabilia.<br />

Program Friday Sewing<br />
Class<br />
<strong>The</strong> Sewing Class was originally set up two years<br />
ago as a social program for ladies living in<br />
Supported Residential Facilities. We meet each<br />
Friday from 1pm to 3pm at <strong>The</strong> Eastwood<br />
Community Centre. Led by a fun loving<br />
instructor, Bonnie Baldock we are never short <strong>of</strong><br />
a good l<strong>au</strong>gh. Of course, participants do learn<br />
many skills along the way.<br />
Many have made handbags for themselves or<br />
friends. <strong>The</strong>y have also created insert bags and<br />
baskets for walkers, cushions and covers, aprons,<br />
lavender bags and<br />
most recently we have<br />
been quilting squares.<br />
We are fortunate to<br />
have the volunteer<br />
support <strong>of</strong> Louise May,<br />
Carmen Wilson and<br />
Judy Lanyon who are<br />
accomplished sewers.<br />
<strong>The</strong> class works best<br />
when we are able to<br />
pair a volunteer with a<br />
participant, as this<br />
enables one on one<br />
work on personal<br />
choice projects and<br />
smoother running <strong>of</strong><br />

the class. We would like to open up the class to<br />
other residents, so if you enjoy humour and are<br />
skilled at sewing, our class might just be the<br />
place for you.<br />

REBECCA HAMMAT<br />
Liaison and Development Officer<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Unley</strong> Toy Library<br />
had been <strong>of</strong>fering its<br />
wonderful service to the<br />
community for over 30<br />
years, and throughout its<br />
history, both staff and<br />
borrowers have<br />
benefited hugely from<br />
the important work<br />
undertaken by<br />
volunteers. <strong>The</strong>se people<br />
give generously <strong>of</strong> their<br />
time behind the scenes,<br />
doing such tasks as<br />
labelling toys and games,<br />
checking returned items,<br />
counting pieces, noting lost pieces and<br />
replacing where possible from a stock <strong>of</strong> spares,<br />
mending toys, costumes and puppets,<br />
reshelving, and tidying our display areas.<br />
Our volunteers, Wendy Edwards, Pat Falcinella<br />
and Marlene <strong>Sa</strong>lmon have notched up almost 40<br />
years <strong>of</strong> service to the Toy Library between them.<br />
<strong>The</strong>ir contribution adds value and efficiency to<br />
our service, in that borrowers can generally find<br />
similar categories <strong>of</strong> toys in the same location,<br />
and know that the items they borrow are<br />
complete, or at least usable with missing pieces<br />
noted. <strong>The</strong>y also contribute to Occupational
<strong>The</strong> Volunteer Connection November 2011 Page 6<br />
Health & <strong>Sa</strong>fety by keeping shelves and floor<br />
spaces as tidy as possible.<br />
Pat, our longest serving volunteer, and almost<br />
part <strong>of</strong> all Toy Library families, comes in three<br />
times a week, and Wendy and Marlene share<br />
the Friday roster while Rob, as an un<strong>of</strong>ficial<br />
volunteer, extends the shelf life <strong>of</strong> many favourite<br />
toys with his highly skilled repairs. Our borrowers<br />
and we are so lucky to have such a wonderful<br />
group <strong>of</strong> volunteers. Long may they continue!<br />

Obituary<br />
I am very sad to<br />
report the death <strong>of</strong><br />
our very long term<br />
Community Visitor,<br />
Beth McL<strong>au</strong>ghlin.<br />
Beth, who was always<br />
bright and happy,<br />
enjoyed visiting Kings<br />
Park Nursing Home<br />
along with her friends Grace Ewers and Joan<br />
Hillan. For just over 17 years, they visited every<br />
fortnight bringing friendship and joy to the<br />
residents. During this time, they have done<br />
everything from knitting, crocheting, l<strong>au</strong>ghing,<br />
talking and singing with the residents. <strong>The</strong>ir<br />
dedication and commitment has been<br />
enormous. Beth recorded the visits <strong>of</strong> the team<br />
and never ever wanted to be reimbursed for out<br />
<strong>of</strong> pocket expenses. Beth’s view was that her<br />
service to the residents was a gift given to her by<br />
her God.<br />
I attended Beth’s funeral service and it was<br />
evident that she was well respected by her<br />
church community and deeply loved by her<br />
family.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Staff and Management at Kings Park have<br />
spoken to me about the team visits and the most<br />
positive comments and results have been<br />
received. Beth’s visiting role at the home has<br />
been missed and will continue to be so.<br />
My sincere condolences are extended to Joan<br />
and Grace along with Elizabeth Finch who joined<br />
the team in 2009. I know that they will certainly<br />
miss their special friend.<br />
