Community Morning Tea

Saturday June 27th, 10:30am

An opportunity for those interested in volunteering and/or becoming members of Olinda Community House​

If you’re interested in becoming part of the next chapter of Olinda Community House, as a member, volunteer, supporter, participant, or simply someone who cares about local community, join us for a special community morning tea on Saturday 27th June.

Come along for morning tea to hear about exciting plans for the House, connect with others in the community, and share your ideas for the future of this much-loved local space. Whether you’d like to get involved, meet like-minded locals, help shape future programs, or simply listen and learn more about what’s ahead, everyone is warmly welcome.

This is a chance to imagine together what a thriving, connected and community-led Olinda Community House can look like. We’d love to see both familiar and new faces there.

Nick Cody from FOX FM returns to the Dandenong Ranges for a jam-packed night of laughs.
 
” Cody’s style of easy going comedy sees him consistently selling out shows and over-achieving his way around the globe, all the while becoming a regular fixture on TV and radio at home in Australia.
 
Boasting a solid fan base of Cody devotees at home and abroad, he has also sold out shows whilst racking up rave reviews, not only at every comedy festival here in Australia, but also the Edinburgh Fringe Festival & the Soho Theatre in London. He also has performed numerous times at the invite-only Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, as well as the New York Comedy Festival & Johannesburg Comedy Festival.
 
On top of his stand-up special “What Of It?” (ABC), Nick has already amassed a plethora of Australian & international TV credits, as a stand-up (Conan/Melbourne Comedy Festival OXFAM Gala/Opening Night Allstars Gala/Comedy Up Late/Just For Laughs), a panelist (Have You Been Paying Attention/Talking ‘Bout Your Generation/Hughesy We Have a Problem/AFL’s The Kick) and as an actor (Please Like Me/Kinne/The Wizards Of Aus). He makes his feature film debut this year in the Australian movie “The Merger”.
Nick is the first Aussie comedian to perform on Conan, has appeared on the Comedy Festival Gala multiple times, and is one half of the popular podcast Mid Flight Brawl.” (IMDb Mini Bio).
 
Make this your wintery night out to warm the soul. 

Communications shape how we see the world – and each other.

 
From advertising to social media, the messages we create influence attitudes, behaviours, and ultimately, health outcomes. That’s why embedding gender equality into communications, marketing and campaigns matters.

In this interactive session, we’ll explore:
 
• How sexism shows up in advertising and communications
• The impact of these messages on health and gender inequality
• Practical ways to challenge and change harmful content
• Tools and resources to support more inclusive campaigns
 
Date:  Thursday 14 May
Time: 10:30AM – 12:30PM
Where: Online (Zoom)
 
Open to those working in communications, marketing, health promotion, prevention of gender-based violence, and community sectors – as well as anyone wanting to learn more.

Comedy is Back at Olinda Community House

Troy is best known for his eponymous TV shows Kinne Tonight and Kinne, which was nominated for a Logie. He continues to fill your telly screens with his guest appearances on hit shows such as: The Hundred w/ Andy Lee, The Roast of Paul Hogan and Have You Been Paying Attention?

However, his roots are performing live stand up in front of a room full of punters- something which he has won multiple awards for and which he has done all over the world.

We’ll kick things off with a couple up-and-coming acts who can do some damage of their own. It will be a full night of comedy!
