We are closing the canteen with a bang this year. We have lots of drinks, ice blocks and snacks available for cash sales tonight at the Carols. Tomorrow we will have some special treats in celebration of our last day and Christmas. The marketplace is still open for Juice Bomb orders.

A big thank you goes out to my wonderful volunteers over the last few weeks - it has been hectic, and they really are the backbone of this operation - Sarah Clark, Katherine O'Sullivan, Rach Pentes, Katarina Pilatic, Tracy D'Ambrosio, Shannon Nott, Katrina Ciampa, Tim Porter, Esme Rolleston and Sam Cox.  We also welcomed Kathy O'Rourke who is sharing her retirement time with us.

The Service and Sustainability leaders shared a party this week, in thanks for their wonderful efforts this year. Together, they have buttered over 250 loaves of bread, saved almost 5000 drink containers from going to land fill (almost $500 back into the canteen funds - helping to keep prices down), cleaned tubs, learned about hygiene and money handling and mostly just shared their energy with the canteen team. I am going to miss this amazing group and wish them all well in their new chapter. Thank you Christian, Nathan, Will, Cameron, Jack, Zachary, Faith, Grace, Maddi, Tahlia, Sophie, Cody and Logan.

Canteen is shut next week for cleaning - thank you all for your custom.

Lastly, thank you for all the cutlery donations, they will be put to good use.
