The Big Lunch was a pot-luck style lunch held in the spirit of Harmony Day. Approximately one hundred and forty people attended celebrating social inclusion, different cultures, and the appreciation of good food.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that contributed to the success of this event especially, Australia Post, Aboriginal Elder Dick Blair, BEST Employments’ Tom Sanderson, Barbie Jones, Deb Cameron, Katie Middleton, Sheree Middleton, Jo Youll, Rob Walters, Dave Esler & Tim Kolaczyk, BEST Employments’ Green Army participants, Bindaree Beef, Connections Disability Service drumming group, Didgeridoo player and musician Alex Munro, Food Swells’ Anthea Fawcett & Luci Rafferty, James Makim, KCL Daycare Louise Adams and kids, Glen Industries representatives Mark & Kylie Hawkins, Rosemary Breen, Scrubber Burdekin, and a special thanks to ABC Gardening Australia host Costa Georgiadis for giving up his precious time to attend this event
BEST Food Garden is now delivering fresh vegetables and eggs to one hundred elderly pensioners in Glen Innes and Inverell.
BEST Food Garden is a very special and unique community activity and for Costa Georgiadis to state that the BEST Food Garden is the best model he has seen was a very proud moment for BEST Employment, myself and recognition for everyone that has played part in what we have achieved to date. For that I thank you.
The BEST Food Garden is all about growing a stronger community enabling us to look after our own
