SI Maylands Peninsula – Spring Sonnets

[Show as slideshow]

SI Maylands Peninsula recently hosted “Spring Sonnets” an afternoon of poetry, music, food, wine and friendship. The delightful garden of The Old Bakery on 8th Avenue Maylands was a perfect venue and forty attendees were soon immersed in poetry readings, accompanied by the strains of harp music, while they quaffed wine and sipped tea and coffee. A delicious afternoon tea was provided by club members, together with the raffle – a basket of literary treasures.

The sum of $744 was raised and will be applied towards the purchase and installation of lawn and reticulation for the children’s play area at the Kora Centre which is run by a non-profit charitable organisation working for children from disadvantaged families.

Kora is a small centre staffed mainly by volunteers. The centre accepts referrals from Ministry of Justice and Centrelink and provides a safe haven in which children can play and learn.
