Fish and Chips Night
Three Colac Area Health staff members, Joy O’Dwyer, Sue McVeigh and Peter Rice were asked to nominate a program to complete as part of the Enhancing Practice Program which would have a positive effect/do something positive in their area of work. They decided to hold a fish and chips night for residents and staff at Corangamarah.
On 12th December 2009, seventy parcels of fish and chips were ordered and delivered, with the meal eaten from the traditional wrap. Some of the residents chose to have their dinner in the newly upgraded garden area surrounding Corangamarah.

Congratulations to everyone involved in organising this event.
