Design Help Needed

At DNC we are going to upgrade our kitchen facilities, using a small grant that we have received from the Hepburn Shire Council.  The kitchen is very out-dated and we are looking to make it a more user friendly facility.  It will enable us to conduct cooking classes, open it for community usage and provide a more user-friendly space for our employees, clients and tenants.

We would love some help to plan, design and draw up the new kitchen and are looking for someone with this type of background and experience who would be willing to donate their time to help us.

DNC provides an enormous amount of support to the local community and we would like to be able to expand our offering and support. A renovated kitchen would go a long way to making that happen.  If you can help, please contact us at manager@dncentre.org.au or call 5348 3569.

Committee Help Needed

Have you been thinking about how you can ‘give back’ to the community? Do you have skills and experience which could benefit a community organization? If so, then the DNC is the place for you!

The Committee of Management is looking for someone to act as Committee Secretary (minutes, agendas, must be computer literate) and one or two general Committee members. Previous committee experience not necessary.

You would be joining an important community organisation, working with like-minded people who want to give back to the Daylesford community and have fun doing so!

To find out more, please contact Gina Lyons, Chair of the Committee on 0405 533 557.

DNC Joke of the Week

My girlfriend dumped me. She said in a teary tirade: “I can’t take it any more!  You’re so pedantic!  Everything I do and say is wrong.  I loved you so much, but it’ll never be enough for you.  I’m leaving now.  Me and Gary are driving north through the night and then you’ll never hear from me again.”

She was about to close the door when I yelled, “No, no….waaait”

She turned back, tears in her eyes, a glimmer of hope still remained. That was when I uttered those three magic words, “Gary and I!”
