Community barbecue rounds off Ageing Positively Festival

Merinda Park Learning and Community Centre wrapped up its celebration of the City of Casey’s Ageing Positively Festival with a barbecue on Wednesday 30 October.

“Throughout October, Merinda Park welcomed the senior residents of the community to a variety of events, which were part of the City of Casey’s Ageing Positively Festival,” a spokesperson of the centre said.

“From a scrumptious morning tea with homemade scones and jam to potting plants with our kinder children, the Centre embraced the elderly. The final event, which was a BBQ in the park, turned out better than expected.

“The weather was perfect, the food was delicious and some great friendships blossomed.

“We look forward to seeing more visitors at our next Ageing Positively Festival.”
