Melbourne Cup

On Tuesday 5th of November Roseneath held a Melbourne Cup Day for our Residents.

Residents and Staff at Roseneath Aged Care Centre were very grateful to Dylan and the Music Band students at

Glen Innes High School that put on a lovely performance for our Residents on Melbourne Cup Day.

Congratulations to all winners.

Remembrance Day

A group of Roseneath Residents attended the Remembrance Service at Anzac Park Glen Innes.

A small Service was also held in the Community Hall at Roseneath Aged Care Centre for Residents that wished to attend.

A minute silence to remember the life’s that were lost, Lest We Forget.

Poem of the Month

“In Flanders Fields by John McCrae”
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Christmas Lunch / Farewell

Glen Innes Men’s Shed held a Christmas Party and Farewell lunch for Jim Wilson who is

a founding member back in the 1990’s. A group of Roseneath gentlemen had a lovely time

at the Men’s Shed with everyone. Roseneath wishes Jim Wilson all the best.

Gratitude

Roseneath Staff would like to say thank you to Julie-Anne and Sandra for the beautiful

gift with kind words that was given to Janelle and the Staff.

We would like to give further appreciation to all family and friends that have shown their

gratitude to Roseneath Staff throughout the year.

Inghams

Inghams representatives brought a food display for Roseneath Residents to taste

what options are available to them. Roseneath Residents and staff thought the display looked wonderful and the food was

delicious. Roseneath management is always trying to keep Residents connected with their community,

It’s always great to see company’s coming in to Roseneath and giving time to our Residents.

Roseneath would like to say thank you to Inghams and we hope to see you again soon.
