A CREDIT TO US
As previously advertised, Hester Canterbury will welcome the QIP Accreditation Team on Friday 30 June. The agenda for the day has now been finalized and the accreditation team leader has locked in the resident & residents committee interview for 10am to coincide with morning tea. It is important that as many members of the committee as possible attend, plus those residents who would like to partake in the interview process, in a group. I would like to thank in anticipation those residents participating for their assistance and support in such an important process that will benefit us all going forward.
MORE JUICE THAN REPORTS
There is a lot more activity in our worm bins than there is with the book worms amongst the community, as the nutritional juice is flowing strong in the basement, but the creative juice above is as dry as a bone. On the eve of our next Guest Author, If you would like to share in the Newsletter your favourite book, may be with a short reason why, please let me know. Who knows, it may even rocket to the top of Hester Canterbury’s Best Book List?
Week Two of the Winter Menu starts on Monday 26 June.
Please place any orders by 1pm the Thursday before.
Bon Appetit!

POWER TO THE PEOPLE
As part of the final install of the back-up Generator Infrastructure, contractors will be performing a full test of the system on Wednesday 28 June from 9am. This will include positioning a portable generator in the Faversham House car park along the west wing side and a planned 30 minute shut down of all power to the Hester Canterbury Basement Car Park. We will ensure that the car park gate is in the open position prior to the shutdown, however, if you do need to navigate the basement car park during the power outage, please take extreme caution and let me know if you require any assistance. Thank you.
Have a wonderful week and take care.
