COVID-19 – Important update from Watsonia Neighbourhood House We welcome the gradual easing of restrictions for metro Melbourne from 11:59pm on Sunday 8 November and the additional freedoms this brings for us all. There is greater certainty now about reopening in 2021. We have made the difficult decision to continue the suspension of face-to-face groups and classes for the remainder of term 4. We are developing a new Covid safe program for next year to meet the changing needs of our community. We have some exciting programs and renovations coming up, including a fabulous garden upgrade. In the meantime, we will stay in touch through our website (www.watsonianh.org.au) , our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/watsonianh) and regular emails or you can call us on 03 9434 6717. We look forward to seeing you again in 2021. |
