Violet Town Community House
Annabelle CLEELAND (Euroa) (09:55): I recently had the pleasure of being the guest speaker at the Violet Town Community House beautiful women’s health high tea led by the incredible and dynamic Lisa Jensen. With more than 40 inspiring local women in attendance, it was a day of honesty, connection and lifting each other up. A special thanks goes to Lorraine, who guided us through some pelvic floor exercises before I shared the nitty-gritty of political life with a young family in regional Victoria. Events like this remind us how important neighbourhood and community houses are. They are the heartbeat of our towns, delivering everything from food relief to exercise classes, occasional care, friendship, learning and a sense of belonging. Despite often limited resources, they continue to work tirelessly to support others, and our communities are stronger for it.
