Our supported employees at The Hunt Op Shop have recently completed another mosaic paver project for Kingborough  Council . It’s part of the "low hanging fruit" community art throughout Kingborough. These artworks were to celebrate and highlight the Kingston Wetlands and Whitewater Creek areas.　 Pavers depicte insects, water creatures and birds.　 Alison Jones, Mosaic Artist, assisted us with the finer details of the pavers.　 You can see the pavers in the footpath on the Southern Outlet 　between Channel Highway and John Street, on the Coles side of the road.　 Thank you Kingborough Council and in particular, Melissa Staples from KCC for involving our supported employees in this great public art.

Do you see female patients who are wheelchair users and have never had a Pap Test because they can’t get on the

examination table? Or women who are not able to do their own breast examinations?

Female wheelchair users should have equal access to health checks.

Nurse Practitioner, Lyn, will be available for consultations at a regular clinic at the Hobart Women’s Health Centre at

25 Lefroy Street, North Hobart.

The first clinic will be held on Wednesday 18th January 2012. Consultations are bulk-billed.

For clients with complex mobility or communication needs, it may be appropriate to bring a carer, but there will be

nursing staff onsite to assist .

A hoist & adjustable-height examination table will be available.

Uniting Care Tasmania and Cerebral Palsy Tasmania joined forces for a "Meat & Greet" BBQ at Tolosa Reserve Glenorchy on Saturday November 5th.

The Grape A Fare was another huge success.

 

Over a hundred guests and assembled dignitaries enjoyed a vast range of fine wines and cheeses as well as a carnival of canapes fit for a king.

Thanks and congratulations to staff and students of Drysdale Institute for an excellent fundraiser and to the many wineries taking part.

Thanks to Chefs Waji and Vanidol for a canape cornucopia

We need your old gumboots!!　　 The supported employees at The Hunt make up old gumboots as really unique pot plant holders.　 They made one recently, put it in a local arts competition and won $100 for their effort!　 That’s $100 towards the $700 cement mixer they need. Now increased orders for more gumboot pot plant holders has run us out of used gumboots – ANY SIZE – ANY CONDITION　 (we’d prefer if you wash the cow/sheep dung off before you drop them into us!) Even if you live on Hobart side of the Southern Outlet, drop your gumboots off at CPTas 21 St John’s Avenue St John’s Park and we’ll get them to The Hunt.
