BLACK AND WHITE DINNER

So it was time for our monthly dinner at the community centre in the village. We were asked to wear black and white and the tables were decorated in black and white. The meal was a German Feast of chicken and vegetables to coincide with October Fest. We were entertained by the Village Singers and waited on by the catering students from the local Rochedale High School. It was their last night with us as they sit their final Year12 exams next month and finish school.

Noni even had one black and one white shoe.

Ian, our Resident Committee Chairman and Anne our Dinner Committee Chairperson thank the chefs and teachers and students for their help.

Because it was the end of their time with us the students and teachers were each given a gift from us. The two teachers  are at the front of the line. It is so good of them to give up their evening to help the students and us.

We enjoyed the evening too.
