There were close to 30 stalls, offering a variety of delicious food – smoked salmon on bagels, latkes, cakes and hamburgers – as well as a wide variety of quality products from mens’ and ladies’ clothing, kitchen gadgets and jewellery, to handbags, books and plants.
The kids were delighted to see Monte the Lion prowling around and also enjoyed jumping castles, face painting, school bands and the musical group 'Go Seek' for the kids.
Each year since 1923, on the first Sunday in November, Volunteers of the Home have organised a Fete at the Hunters Hill Campus, to raise funds for its Residents. This continues to be an important part of the communal calendar and every year, it continues to grow in the variety of stalls and quality goods on sale and in the number of supporters it attracts.
These stalls are fully staffed by Volunteers, and all goods sold on the day are donated. In fact, in many instances, stalls have been passed down from generation to generation, with grandchildren staffing the stalls that were started by the grandparents or great-grandparents.
The continued success of the Fete is made possible by the donation of goods, sponsorship and the support of a dedicated team of volunteers. Anyone interested in Volunteering at the Fete, or at the Home, should contact the Home’s Volunteers Coordinator Hazel Stein on (02) 8345 9154 or email volunteers@montefiorehome.com.au. Anyone interested in donating goods for the fete should contact Fete Convenor Roy Cohen on (02) 9904 3893 or email roycohen@optusnet.com.au
