Salvos Connect Meals

Renae Phillips, Corps officer at Murray Bridge will be taking up an appointment at Pt Augusta/Peterborough from 11^th January 2023 and Adrian & Lydia along with their children will be taking over in Murray Bridge on 18^th January 2023.

Renae has arranged to celebrate and honour the highly successful Connect Meals. She has arranged for the Lions Club on November 3^rd to prepare a BBQ with Mary and Renae providing Salads and Renae providing cake with members from the service clubs to bring along sweets to share if possible.

This will be a normal Connect Meal with local persons attending.

The idea of a Connect Meal for the people of Murray Bridge was an idea from the Murray Bridge Rotary Club and in discussions with The Salvation Army it was seen as a good project. How ever M.B Rotary club could see the benefit of involving the other Service Clubs in Murray Bridge to also become involved.

The first meal was served on 6^th June 2019 and for the next year an average attendance was 60 persons. This attendance did drop slightly over the next years. Great assistance with the meals was the preparation of excellent healthy meals by Mary and the serving ETC by the members of the Service Clubs.

Apart from the meals, assistance was given by both the Rotary clubs in the major re arrangement of the kitchen area with removal of part of a wall, new floor covering, new serving counter and the supply of a new commercial dishwasher. Other smaller jobs were also undertaken.
