with heart, they have coordinated Fundraising Activities
such as the Car Boot Sale in November 2019, managed
our Facebook Page (thank you Jeanette), assisted Liz in

experience every day when they walk through the front

     Seawinds Community Hub has gone from strength to
strength in the last 12 months and we couldn’t have done
it without YOU, the Community! In this edition of the
Ripple you will find stories about the Human’s of the Hub,
those special people who make it their purpose to make
a difference in the community and other people’s lives.
Read about the Hub’s Craft Christmas Tree, a great initia-

    special thanks go to Wayne Bolton one of our foundation
    members who has worked tirelessly on this project.
    Our members are encouraged to enjoy the kitchen,
    cooking will be one of our regular activities. If there are
    interested men who also believe that they have cooking
    skills that they would like to share, they will be made
    most welcome at the Shed. Our next project will be the
    construction of a wall that will divide the internal space
    in the shed into two separates activity areas:
              Social Space: This will be a quieter area where
    more passive activities can take place and where our
    members will be able to meet and chat.
              Work Space: This will cater for a range of
    activities which will vary from time to time in accordance
    with members’ current interests and collective skills.
    This work is currently underway, when completed the
    activities that will be undertaken by our members will be
    greatly enhanced.

                                                 HUMANS OF THE HUB

Helen and Ken MacPherson have been a team for over           Team MacPherson:
50yrs, sharing a love of their children and grandchildren,   Working together to achieve their goals
for them family is everything. Since both retiring they
have found more time to enjoy other love of travel,
volunteering, Genealogy, history, jigsaw puzzles, food
& wine. Before retirement Helen was a teacher and
Junior School Manager at Karingal Park, now known
as McClelland College, teaching Human and Health
Development. Moving to the Peninsula in 1996 and then
retiring here in 2003.
    Through Genealogy they discovered they had both
lost family members on the Battlefields of Somme, both
men were lost to their families on the same day in the
very same battle, one from Scotland and one from
Australia, not knowing each other, yet destined to be
family. Ken and Helen have traveled extensively and
loved all that they have experienced, asking them the
question “favourite place?” brings a unanimous reply
“Egypt”, to see the pyramids, unforgettable memories.
    On retiring they started volunteering at Eastbourne
Primary School in the Garden as part of the kitchen gar-
den program, then joined us at Seawinds Community Hub
7 years ago. Ken is our Maintenance Guru and Helen
is our leader for Community Lunches. Endless Bunnings
BBQs, fundraisers, golf days, bread and produce driv-
ers these two call the Hub their second home and we are
fortunate they do so.
    Helen and Ken also volunteer with Second Bite,
Habitat for Humanity, Eastbourne Primary School
Gardens and are always there supporting when some-
one is in need. When not volunteering they belong to
walking groups, garden groups, love putting a 1000
piece jigsaw puzzle together and enjoy cooking and
wine with friends. They both volunteered for the 2006
Commonwealth Games, Ken as the Press Transit coordi-
nator, also sometimes having to find a lift for an athlete
who didn’t get to the bus services on time. Helen was
located at the swimming with a variety of duties includ-
ing, welcoming athletes, their families, Seat Usher and
also assisting athletes to drug testing areas.
    Listening to their stories of this time shows how much
joy it brings to them to have shared the experience
together as Team MacPherson. Seawinds Community
Hub is immensely thankful and appreciative that Team
MacPherson are part of our Volunteering community.

90-year-old Lottie who is a legend with her needles.
     Originally meeting at the Wool Shop and still an
integral part of the group are Pat and Heather who were
both taught to knit as children. Pat recalls being approx-
imately 10 years old at school when they were supplied
with khaki coloured wool and asked to knit socks for the
soldiers during war time - her charitable personality was
shining then too.
      Taught by her mother at 6 years old Heather has
always been on hand with the needles for those in need.
Her Children attended a local primary school that put out
a call for knitters for charity. The school had over 600
parents, only one applied. Heather continues to knit for
charities and her family.
      Currently donations of wool are being sought, so the
knitters can continue with these projects. If you can help,
donations can be left at reception for Pat Geer. Hearing
a co-worker comment this week about teaching her
young grandson to knit, its wonderful this pastime is still
being taught and enjoyed by all ages.

     CRAFT CHRISTMAS TREE

          Santa arrived at Seawinds Community Hub on the SES
          Truck on Sunday the 1st of December at 5pm. Children
          and families gathered at the Hub to see Santa light
          up the HUGE Craft Christmas Tree and each child
          received a small gift. Mending Matters Volunteer Net
          and Seahorse Café Manager Liz, along with more than
          30 local community members contributed the colourful
          crocheted squares to create the Largest Craft Christmas

          than 600 crocheted Christmas squares and decorations
          was built by the wonderful blokes of the Rosebud &
          District Men’s Shed. Children from the community also
          contributed hand knitted decorations. Liz said “More
          than 30 passionate knitters and crafty sorts have been
          busy clicking their needles and spinning yarns to cre-
          ate more than 600 colourful crocheted squares for the
          Christmas tree. Many more lovely visitors to the Hub
          have purchased these squares to raise money for the
          Hub and ELC.”
              Councilor Antonella Celi was present for the lighting
          of the Christmas Tree and commended all the wonderful
          community members for the great work they contrib-
          uted. The beautiful Craft Christmas Tree will now be
          turned into blankets and donated to patients receiving
          Oncology treatment at the hospital.
              Plans for Christmas 2020 are already underway

For those that don’t know us we are Clothes4U

started in a spare bedroom, then moved to a converted
garage. Next was a small shop on Boneo Road and
eventually, when we had raised enough money, we moved
into our current premises on Pt Nepean Rd.
     In the beginning, our mission was to provide
clothing to women in need. However, we have now
expanded our mission to include men and boys. We
provide great quality clothing and toiletries to all cli-
ents. Our service is totally free and clients get to keep
all items they are given.
     We dress clients for Court Appearances, Rental
Interviews, Job Interviews, Funerals, Special Occasions
and much more. However, the vast majority of clients
need ‘Every-Day‘ clothing. When clients come to our
shop, they are greeted by our wonderful volunteers
who will help the client find suitable clothes and show
them how to mix and match. Clients can have as many
items as they need.                                          If you would like to make an

Turning waste into ENVISION HANDS FOR children
Recently Saun Teer and his team from Envision in Seaford
visited the Eastbourne Primary school giving the students
a talk on how they can assist with collecting bottle tops
to be made into prosthetic hands.
     Seawinds Community Hub, along with the Eastbourne
Primary School, are collecting the bottle tops and are
calling on the local community to join in, saving hundreds
and thousands of tops being dumped into landfill.
“Inspired by the Enabling the Future organization we are
participating in the world wide community making and
donating 3D printed prosthetic hands/arms for children
in need across under-serviced countries.       The major
difference is our project will be using recycled plastic
from bottle tops, thus also benefiting the environment”.
     “Bottle caps are fully recyclable. Unfortunately, as
reported on ABC’s ‘War on Waste’, they aren’t being
recycled. They get sent to landfill, and when they fall
through machinery, in worst case scenarios, attached to
a bottle, they can explode forcing expensive re packing
issues”.
     “This overlooked waste product is almost entirely
made from HDPE 2 (High Density Poly-Ethylene). |
After considerable experimentation we have successfully
taken this plastic and extruded it to create functioning
filament for 3D printers. Once we have the filament we
3D print all the components that make up the hand”.
     Further information is available from the Envision
facebook page “Envision Hands Project” and
the Envision webpage https://envision.org.au/
envision-hands/
     Please leave bottle tops at one of the listed collec-
tion points:

                maintain contact with members by phone or by home vis-
                its. Membership to this Register is free.
                     Each member receives an I.D. Card that has the
                phone number of the resister so the member can call the

                  NO LIMITS

     ‘No Limits’ to children learning on the
     Mornington Peninsula.
     In June 2017 principals from 5 schools on the Peninsula
     plus teachers from their feeder kinders came together
     with Mornington Peninsula Foundation to take action in
     response to what was perceived as a major reason stu-
     dents were not arriving at primary school, school ready.
     The schools, Eastbourne, Crib Point, Tyabb Rail,
     Wallaroo and Mornington Park and their feeder pre-
     schools of Mornington Park, Seawinds ELC, Tyabb Rail,
     Wallaroo and Crib Point banded together to attract
     funding and develop a program to screen all preschool
     children and prep students with regards to Speech
     Therapy.
          Over 320 children have been assessed in 2019, and
     many programs developed for those considered at risk
     Eastbourne Primary School Principal, Stephen Wilkinson
     said, ‘The program has taken a while to implement, but
     after ironing out a few issues all schools and preschools
     involved have embraced the initiative and look forward
     to better growth from the students who have had the
     opportunity to have a program to enhance their growth
     in speaking and listening’.
          The impact of this program will see many children
     school ready and able to cope better with the challenges
     of primary school. Evidence to date suggests many
     of these students have greater self-esteem, are more
     confident to try new activities and are progressing with
     their reading, speaking and listening skills. The No Limits
     initiative has an ongoing evaluation component which
     already is showing sound results and proving the educa-
     tors concerned earmarked an extremely important part
     of student improvement.
          Through the Mornington Peninsula Foundation and
     Stephanie Exton this initiative is changing the lives of
     many students and eliminating an area that can have pro-
     found effects on a child’s education.
          In 2020 the Mornington Peninsula Foundation has
     funded support positions in each kinder to assist with the
     implementation of the Speech Pathologist recommenda-
     tions. Seawinds ELC is proud to be a part of this great
     community partnership project.
