Basket Ball Clinics Return to the ARC

After a long hiatus (mostly due to COVID), the hugely popular Basketball Clinics are returning to the ARC in Term 4.  They will be held on Wednesday afternoons from 4.00pm to 5.30pm, starting on 18 October.

This activity is generously sponsored by the Daylesford Foundation, and a gold coin donation of $2 at the door (or $20 for the whole term) is requested to help offset costs.

All ages are welcome.

DNC Continues to Support the Yes Vote in The Voice Referendum

The Committee of Management, staff and volunteers of DNC announced our support for the Yes Vote in the Voice Referendum in the Wombat Post of 25 August.

We have reinforced that support, as we approach the Referendum next week, by additional signage at the Centre to that effect.

A successful outcome of the Referendum will acknowledge 65,000 years of Indigenous culture for the first time in Australia’s 122-year-old Constitution.

It will also introduce a process whereby listening to advice from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people about matters that affect their lives will enable governments make better decisions.

We believe a Voice can deliver better opportunities and make a better future possible for Indigenous Australians.

We encourage all members of the community to actively participate in the Referendum.

 

DNC Joke of the Week

One Sunday, a pastor told the congregation that the church needed some extra money and asked the people to prayerfully consider giving a little extra in the offering plate. He said that whoever gave the most would be able to pick out three hymns.

After the offering plates were passed, the pastor glanced down and noticed that someone had placed a $1,000 bill in the offering. He was so excited that he immediately shared his joy with his congregation and said he’d like to personally thank the person who placed the money in the plate.

A very quiet, elderly and saintly lady all the way in the back shyly raised her hand. The pastor asked her to come to the front. Slowly she made her way to the pastor. He told her how wonderful it was that she gave so much, and in Thanksgiving asked her to pick out three hymns.

Her eyes brightened as she looked over the congregation, pointed to the three handsomest men in the building and said, “I’ll take him and him and him.”
