The photo tells the story - Mayor Michael caught riding home at the traffic lights after a Citizenship Ceremony at Unley Town Hall!

Ros and I were delighted to celebrate 85 years of the Capri Theatre on Friday night. A well loved Goodwood institution whose charm is is kept alive by hard working volunteers.
Thank you Rob for the invitation to join the pre-film reception and to view the gruesome Nosferatu from 1922 - what an experience!

I was absolutely delighted to attend "Seeds and Stories: Planting Hope" yesterday. A wonderful event at Christ Church Uniting and Eldercare the Lodge in Wayville.

Seeds - such small but vital parts of our environment containing life within them!

Pictured with Mary Taylor, Christ Church member and volunteer, and Mitchell Livingston, Trees for Life Seed Manager including my first selfie taken by me!

I was honoured to join the Karitsa Community on Saturday evening to celebrate 40 years of the Karitsa Community of SA Inc, and to honour the legacy and history of the Karitsiotes and their journey to Goodwood, through the launch of a much anticipated book.
The book is available at both Unley and Goodwood libraries and is excellently done with so much detail and wonderful pictures.
Thanks to Michael and Alexandra, and well done to all involved!

It was a privelege to be invited to a whole community music soiree at Concordia College. What a fantastic show - the double gym at the school was filled with around 600+ guests.

Head of College Paul Weinert is rightly "proud of our students and their achievements in music. The range of ensembles and the quality of the performances reflect the strength of a program that now extends across all three campuses and all year levels. This is a testament to the outstanding leadership of our Head of Music, Kellie Rich, and the dedication and expertise of her staff team.”

Well done to all involved.
