Second round cash

CLUBS, not-for-profit groups and councils can apply now for a share in $150,000 in round two of the federal government’s Stronger Communities Program. The funding can be used for capital expenditure to assist local community projects. “I encourage locals to apply for grants of between $5,000 and $20,000 from the program,” Dunkley Liberal MP Bruce Billson said. “One of the key criteria is that funding be provided dollar for dollar or in-kind to match the amount sought through the program. See infrastructure.gov.au/scp or call Mr Billson’s electorate office on 03 9781 2333 for further details or a project funding application form. Completed project proposal forms must be received by midday on Monday 14 March.

Restaurant says thanks for the memories “We’re a family restaurant that’s been very well accepted here and we’ve never needed to advertise,” Mrs Alesci said. “We’ve been blessed with loyal customers and staff members and want to say thank you to them.” Mrs Alesci said her family, which includes children John, Jessica and Grace, had no immediate plans: “We want to take a holiday, relax, and spend time with each other. Grace is excited that she’ll have her mum around more.”

The closing day is Saturday 2 April – and Mrs Alesci knows they will be flat out until then. “The sign only went on the window today (Thursday) and we are already almost booked out,” she said. “A lot of people will be coming to say goodbye; there will be so many people that we’ll miss.” The new owners will arrive with a new name and style.

IT’S almost time to say “arrivederci” to popular Mornington restaurant Mediterraneo, which will close next month. Owners Joanne and David Alesci say they are “tired and need a rest” after 14 years’ service at the Queen St site. The pair took over David’s father’s restaurant serving Italian fare after training in city restaurants. They have been attentive dinner hosts Tuesday to Saturday ever since.
