Club gives medical gowns to little heroes

well, according to Mr Downie.

It was still on track for completion around the middle of this year, he said.

“On completion of the western side, we will be asking residents located in our two southern wings at The Shores (rooms 20 to 43) to relocate into one of the newly built bedrooms.”

Mr Downie said a “wonderful feature” of the new works was a number of new courtyard and outdoor spaces.

“Each of these spaces are a little different and contain different points of interest.

“There will be plenty of areas to sit, or in some spaces external tables and seating, most located under pergolas providing some shading.”

He said there would be raised garden beds for residents use in some courtyards, and one courtyard would feature a traditional water tank.

“There will be a long circular pathway extending from the middle of our site, around the eastern end and across back into the northern end of our building for residents to enjoy longer outdoor walks as well.

“We are also creating a new space for our maintenance team.”

Staff members will be hold a “Supertee team building packing event” on March 15 to pack the gowns and related super-hero activities for delivery to Gosford Hospital.

They will also write get-well cards for inclusion in the packs.

The T-shirt style gowns have shoulder and side press studs, underarm openings for temperature access and side openings for tubes and access lines.

Ettalong Diggers marketing manager Ms Kim Cole said the organisation would be the first on the Central Coast to donate to the project.

“We would love to get the word out there about his wonderful charity and that hopefully more Central Coast businesses will jump on board,” she said.

She said each pack would contain a Captain America or Captain Marvel Supertee medical gown, an activity booklet and stickers, a character bookmark and Hero ID Card, a fellow Avengers secret message, a “note from your biggest fan”, all packed in a Supertee tin.
