Multicultural Day, Eastlakes

by FIONA MOODY

On a lovely warm, sunny Saturday after a terrible, cold week, we set up our stand for the Botany Bay Multicultural Day in Eastlakes.

One of our valued carers, Romina, and I arrived bright and early to set up our stall next to the local council tables – an excellent place to be.

Once we were happy that our stall looked enticing, our day began. Romina was apprehensive at first because she had never done this kind of marketing before but she soon got the hang of things when a few people approached and wanted to learn more about Just Better Care’s services.

The day got busier as we went on and a lot of people visited our stall. We had a great time chatting and handing out pens, water bottles and magazines and our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander water bottles were the most popular.

There were some very interesting stalls and we got to know the Botany

Bay Council representatives, which proved to be a great networking opportunity for Just Better Care.

Overall, it was a great day out and a successful exercise because we used the stall to reach out to the community.
