Gio’s 50 th Gawler Royal Show extravaganza + Learning & Lifestyle Program T L ong time EBLer Gio celebrates his 50th birthday!! Happy birthday Gio, from all of us in the EBL community! We hope you had an amazing day! he Learning and Lifestyles Program is extremely lucky to have had an artist Pat Maxwell working with us on various art therapy programs. Pat and staff have been working with the participants and have been making and creating some amazing art. The art package is part of our learning program and is teaching skills such as: coordination, hand eye coordination, motor skills, concentration, patients, decision making, confidence and creativity to name a few. Due to the success of the art that has been produced we entered three items into the Gawler show (next year we are hoping to enter many more). Tammy Anderson produced a picture of a rainbow, Ashlie Ridley produced a portrait of a staff member and Josh Antonello produced a Paper Mache elephant. There were many amazing pieces of art work at the show and we are thrilled to announce that Josh won third place in his category. He was obviously very excited with his win, as were staff and participants. Congratulations to Tammy, Ashlie and Josh. EBL invites you and your family to our upcoming Annual Christmas Party. Please come and join us to celebrate the festive season. A family fun day filled with delicious food, drinks, a whole lot of laughter and great company. And Josh wins third place ! maybe a visit from Santa!
