HEAR FROM OUR BUSINESS MANAGER

The Board and Management would like to thank the community for their kind donations towards Navorina’s Re-furbishment fundraiser. The current amounts raised have recently reached over $300,000. This is an amazing achievement from such a small community.
Navorina Nursing Home has a serious mission this NAVember - to raise awareness of our funding raising campaign and to add more sorely needed donations to our renovation fund. All contributions are fully tax deductible. If you need more information or have any questions please contact myself on 0358813944 or Justine Keech on 0427811866.
We would like to thank all of our families and visitors for being so patient with us while the renovations are in there final stages. We are all looking forward to the time when works are complete and we have a state of the art facility.
It is lovely to see families and friends being able to visit their loved ones again after the recent lockdown. Residents are also enjoying being able to go on outings outside of Navorina once again such as bus trips around town and walks to the local parks and river.
With the AGM coming up we would love to have more Foundation members. If you are interesting in becoming a member and attending the yearly AGM and paying a small membership fee we would love to hear from you.

WHATS HAPPENING?
Residents, staff and families have been excited to see lock down disappear and visiting resuming. Even with restrictions still in place our residents are all smiles. This month we celebrated Halloween with special goodies made in the kitchen and got to see our families. River walks have resumed to embrace the warmer weather.

GET APART OF NAVEMBER

Throughout November the Deniliquin community is holding many fundraisers to try and get us to our 1 million dollar target. The Ladies Auxiliary have planned a garage sale on the 13th November with all proceeds going to Navorina.
Fleming Partners are having a fundraiser for Navorina as part of Navember on the 20th. For every dollar raised up to $7500 Count will match it so we have the opportunity to raise $15000. If you are able to assist or just support the day it would be great - baked goods can be dropped to Flemings on the 19th or morning of the 20th. If you would like to drop them into Navorina we can drop them off to Flemings.

The Deniliquin Pastoral Times are holding a sweep for the Melbourne Cup. The annual PT Melbourne Cup Sweep has been extended to members for the first time. The PT have supported Navorina since day 1 of our expansion fundraiser.
Leaves and Vines Nursery is donating $1 of every cup of coffee sold in November to Navorina.
The Cruizin’ diner are recycling cans and bottles used within the diner and donating the money to Navorina during Navember.
We would like to Thank our wonderful community for the support received in reaching our fundraising target.
