Quotes attributable to Mayor Councillor Simon Brooks:
“Last year’s Open Day was very well received by residents and was the first time we could properly celebrate the opening of Mornington Community House.
“I encourage anyone who hasn’t visited the Mornington Community Hub to come along to the Open Day on 23 February 2024, even if it’s to just have a chat with some of the local volunteers and groups.”
Quotes attributable to Briars Ward Councillor Steve Holland, Anthony Marsh and Despi O’Connor:
“Open Day is a great way to explore the various programs and services our Community House has to offer and to check out the other facilities and services available at Mornington Community Hub.
“Our Community Houses provide up to 50 hours of programs and activities a week for Peninsula residents to enjoy. They play an important role in bringing people together to learn, connect and give back to their local area.
“Drop by to see what’s happening across the different facilities and services that make up the vibrant Mornington Community Hub – there’s bound to be an activity or program of interest to everyone!”
