A Word from Wendy
It goes without saying that the last few months have been extremely tough . We ’ ve been challenged in ways we could have never imagined . Yet , through it all , the team at EllieB ’ s has continued to shine brighter than ever .
At every corner , our dedicated staff and Board have worked tirelessly to ensure everyone has felt safe , secure and nurtured — and always with a smile .
I am amazed by the resilience , drive and determination our staff continue to display on a daily basis and could not be more grateful for each and every one of you . Thank you to you all .
This is also a very exciting time for our organisation as we begin to rollout our new name , EllieB ’ s .
Our tagline is “ Watch me Smile ” and as we ’ ve seen through even the toughest times , that we do .
As you will see throughout this edition of the newsletter , our famous EllieB ’ s smiles have been wider than ever as many of our participants have rubbed shoulders with the ‘ who ’ s who ’ in town , celebrated birthdays and enjoyed each other ’ s company as restrictions eased .
Apart from the celebrity sightings and adventures , behind the scenes , we have been busy working on our strategic vision for the coming years . I am filled with excitement with what is to come and can ’ t wait to share more developments with you in due course .
Welcome to Emma Calabro , GM Client Services who is helping us to build our systems and processes . She will provide support to Lillian , Christina and the Respite team . As well as supporting some of the women ’ s accommodation services .
As we navigate this ever-changing environment , the safety of our participants and community continue to be at the forefront of all that we do . They really are our why behind it all and to that end , are the very reason we will never stop doing what we do .
Until next time , keep smiling and thank you again for your continued support .
Wendy Warren
