THANK YOU SHOUT OUT! We just had the fitout completed for our interview room at Mary Mac’s Place! It's a wonderful collaboration between Umina Rotary, Umina Bunnings, Umina Beach Men’s Shed and Ettalong Carpets. We’d like to also thank our volunteers who painted the room. A few finishing touches are yet to come, but a heartfelt thank you goes to all involved. This room is needed for storage but most importantly we'll use it as a quiet space for confidential conversations and outreach services such as the Doorways Connect worker, CatholicCare’s emergency relief and Legal Aid.
