Pets are such an important part of our lives, and pets are welcome in all of our Teman communities. We learn about taking care of our Pets as they age, and we celebrate International Pet Day throughout our villages with pet parties and pet parades. Five Good Friends shares an article about the Power of Friendship and how strong, positive social connections are good for our health. Patsy Bettiens from Beacham by Teman in Gladstone QLD invites us into her garden, and we learn about the life together that The Tadmans from Ridge Estate by Teman in Gillieston Heights NSW have had. From aviation to the Boys and Girls Brigade. Kevin Coburn from The Vines by Teman in Cessnock NSW shares a beautiful poem he wrote about his village, while Ian and Sue from The Rise by Teman in Ridgewood WA share their story about embracing a vibrant retirement. Within our Meet Your Neighbour section, we chat to Norm Farleigh from Rosedale by Teman in Cooranbong NSW, along with Mort and Cheryl from The Rise. We also discover the best winter getaways from each of our villages, and our Village Managers give their wrap-up on their village. We hope you enjoy

What’s been happening in your village?<br />
It’s been an exciting time at Rosedale of late<br />
with residents celebrating Mother’s Day with a<br />
wonderful lunch held in the Community Centre.<br />
The Anzac Service was conducted by one of dear<br />
residents Ken Whalen, which was well attend by<br />
residents. The social club has been in full swing<br />
organising monthly Sunday lunches which turned<br />
out delicious winter warmer meals. Excursions on<br />
the village bus to local attractions are always a<br />
great day out and are enjoyed by all who join in the<br />
fun. Every week coffee club is held on a Wednesday<br />
morning and always well attended as it’s an event<br />
that we all look forward to each week. It’s been<br />
great having Kath from Five Good Friends attend<br />
our coffee club once a month too.<br />
What’s been happening in your village?<br />
Bingo continues on a weekly basis as it’s very<br />
popular here at Highview. Even more so when<br />
Jamie flies up for a game. Residents love beating<br />
the Managing Director. The Social Club monthly<br />
lunch or dinner often sounds better than what<br />
I am having at home. It makes my mouth water<br />
when I hear what’s on the menu. And it is our<br />
wonderful Social Club that love to cook and put<br />
the effort into the monthly meals for all residents<br />
to attend if they wish for a small fee.<br />
easter<br />
fun<br />
Something that has made you smile at<br />
your village<br />
Every day brings an opportunity for a good laugh<br />
with the lovely folk at Rosedale. I really look<br />
forward to catching with residents at coffee club<br />
mornings as someone always has a new joke to<br />
regale. I love our resident’s sense of humour.<br />
Some fun things coming up at your village<br />
I’m looking forward to welcoming the new<br />
spring season by hosting some spring BBQs for<br />
residents, we also be hosting Breast Cancer<br />
Awareness month, Mens Health month and a<br />
couple of bus excursions to Mt Hutton and the<br />
Japanese Gardens at East Gosford.<br />
Something that has made you smile at<br />
your village<br />
Some of these discussions that residents are<br />
having are quite funny and I sit at my desk and<br />
have a chuckle to myself. But then it can take a<br />
turn, which may not be appropriate for this article.<br />
They always like to ask if I heard that. I stick my<br />
fingers in my ears and say I heard nothing. And<br />
they all laugh at me! But at the end of the day,<br />
they’re all laughing and that’s the best thing.<br />
Some fun things coming up at your village<br />

is at the end of November, Games afternoons<br />

, bocci, quoits, pool, connect four, scrabble<br />
whatever they feel like.<br />
