Club Fleurieu
A Blue Tree?
T
he community of Delamere and Cape Jervis got together and painted a tree with blue paint. It’s on Cole Road at Delamere and on the property owned by the generous Hodge family. Why a Blue Tree? The Blue Tree project was initiated to help spark difficult conversations and encourage people to speak up when battling mental health concerns. By spreading the paint and spreading the message that "it's OK to not be OK", we can help break down the stigma that's still largely attached to mental health. Our resident Mayor of Delamere Kaye Maslin ran with the project and was supported by local CFS crews. More details can be found by googling Blue Tree Project and will inspire us to talk more openly about
D
mental health and especially suicide in regional communities.
uring this closure period our Club executive committee has been meeting each week. It was decided that while the clubrooms were not in use, there was an opportunity to catch up on some maintenance work. Our resident electrician Alan has replaced the old fluoro lights in the hall with new downlights. A small but enthusiastic team then repainted the hall ceiling, walls, stage area and kitchen. Everything is looking great! Of course, one thing always leads to another, and now the meeting room will also be getting a fresh coat of paint. Our orchard now has resident chickens! The Garden Shed group are continuing to maintain the orchard and the chooks on a roster basis, while Jim & June have been keeping the lawns and gardens maintained. Another wonderful group of volunteers has given our Op Shop an (autumn) spring clean and tidy during

the past weeks, as well as sorting through donated stock. Many thanks to everyone who has helped out with all the tasks mentioned above. Your time and hard work are very much appreciated! At time of printing deadline, we are hoping to re-open the Op Shop for the last two weeks of May. Subject to Government directives, we also hope to resume some of our regular weekly activities at the Club. These may include Tai Chi, line dancing, quilting, Bingo and mosaics. There would be a maximum attendance of ten people and social distancing measures in place. Please phone the Club before attending, as plans can change very quickly at the moment. At present it is not known when meals and happy hours will resume, but we will keep you posted! Until we can all catch up again, stay safe and well. Pictured below: Our new Club members have settled in well!
