Art show for village activities

The Shared Care Foundation will host an art show featuring local artists this month at the Peninsula Village to raise money for activities for village residents.

The Coastal Lifestyle Art Show will be open to the public from Saturday, June 12, until Monday, June 14, from 10am to 4pm and feature locally renowned artists including David Clarke, Marijke Greenway, Helena Lewerenz, Sherry McCourt, Gai McMurtrie, Pim Sarti and John Woulfe.

Shared Care Foundation chairperson Ms Maree Coy said funds raised from the event would go towards the funding of new equipment for the village, the establishment of a men's shed as well as the development of an art and craft centre for village residents.

"The Shared Care Foundation needs support which will enable the village to continue to provide affordable, high quality retirement living."

Bacon and egg rolls and Devonshire teas will also be sold with proceeds going to the village.

The Shared Care Foundation has been established to support the philanthropic aspirations of Peninsula Village, whose vision and charter is to provide quality care services, partner with families and the community and offer an excellent lifestyle for those in their care, according to Ms Coy.

Peninsula Village is located at 91 Pozieres Ave, Umina.
