Yarra Valley Events – Wesburn Primary School Autumn Fair

You may have seen our signs around the Yarra Valley recently promoting the Wesburn Primary School Autumn Fair.

The fair will be held on Saturday 26th March and fingers crossed the weather holds out for them as we are really looking forward to it.

There will be tasty food, live music & entertainment, market stalls, trash & treasure, a jumping castle, demonstrations & much much more.

Why not drop into the school at 2850 Warburton Highway, Wesburn between 10am & 3pm and help support one of our local Primary Schools!

The Yarra Valley, Supporting Cancer Patients In Many Ways

As you may be aware, Andrew McMath Real Estate are proud supporters of the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF).  Each year during October we change everything to pink (including our branding) to promote awareness of the disease & also hold various fundraising activities for the NBCF. We also ensure that a portion of every sale we make is donated to the NBCF to help fund research into the cure for this awful disease.

We are always excited though when we hear of others ways that people throughout our local Yarra Valley community are also helping support sufferers of cancer and are happy to promote any of these service & fundraisers through our various social media channels.

The newest service we have been contacted about recently is being held by “The Salon of Warburton”. Coleen & Vanessa from the salon are holding FREE ladies pampering nights for any local woman who has, or has had, any form of cancer (not just Breast Cancer).  They are also lucky to have the support of the skincare company Purestuf who is donating all skin care products, plus goodies for the ladies to take home!

The first night is being held on Thursday 24^th March at 6pm and you can join in by calling 5966 5646 to book a spot.

If you know of any other service that you would like promoted to the Yarra Valley community, don’t hesitate to send our Marketing Co-ordinator Melinda Darwall an e-mail, melinda@andrewmcmath.com.au, with the details.

Hard Rubbish Collection in the Yarra Valley

Driving around our streets at the moment you may have seen your neighbours putting out their hard rubbish for the council collection.

Each year in the Yarra Ranges Council area, between February and April, residents can place hard, bundled branches and metal waste out for collection. Click here to see the rules & restrictions & some other important information on what you can and can’t put out for collection and when it will be collected.

Our Mixed Netball Team is Up and Running

If you are one of my “friends” or “fans” on facebook, you would have seen that our office now has our own mixed netball team. We play every Monday night at the Yarra Centre & so far we have done really well & won 2 out of 3 of our games.

We are also using this team to promote how the Professionals support the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) by wearing the official Professionals NBCF T-Shirts.

With Ash running centre & the big boys Marty & Cam at each end of the goals, we certainly look like a daunting team, however as we are having so much fun playing we really don’t mind if we win or lose (OK Ash minds, but the rest of us don’t!).

We will keep you updated with how we are going each week on my facebook & twitter pages &, of course, in my blog.

Thanks to Charlene, Marty & Geraldine for joining Ash, Lyndal, Melinda, Cam & I from our office to make up our team.

I will post some photos of the team soon!

The New Yarra Junction Playground Now Open

Has everyone visited the newly built playground in Yarra Junction? What do you think? My children have played at the park many times since it was re-opened earlier this year and they absolutely love it!

Last November our office posted a blog about how the Upper Yarra Rotary Club (UYRC) were working with the Yarra Ranges Council to re-build the playground after a senseless arson attack in September 2009.  It is great to see that this playground is now completed and what a fantastic job the UYRC & the community have done.

I would personally like to thank the UYRC, the Community Bank Enterprise (Bendigo Bank), the Yarra Ranges Council and anybody else who contributed to the re-building of our park for their hard work.
