FORTY years of bringing people together in the name of community will be celebrated at Orwil Street Community House next month.
The small, not for profit community house offers daytime and evening activity programs including arts and craft and computing.
Orwil Street Community House coordinator Georgina Portelli said neighbourhood houses are “not just for women doing macrame” and several male-focused activities are available.
“We are very proud of the fact that 40 percent of people that come to the House are males,” she said.
“We have a dedicated team of staff, committee and volunteers, who have all been involved in the House on a long-term basis, demonstrating the significance of the contribution to the greater community and belief in what we can achieve.”
Orwil Street Community House at 16 Orwil St, Frankston will celebrate its 40th birthday on Thursday 1 June, 9am-3pm with an open day including a light lunch at 11am and music entertainment, craft sessions and activities throughout the day.
