NSW 2023 Seniors Festival Celebration
ACCA held the NSW 2023 Seniors Festival celebration at its Parramatta Service
Centre on 2 February 2023. The event was attended by approximately 80 people
comprising mainly aged care clients, including elderly members from the local
community.
The event began with a welcoming speech from ACCA’s Service Manager, Sharyn
DiNatale, who encouraged the participants to get involved in what promised to be a
day packed full of entertainment and information.
After the formalities, the entertainment provided attendees a fantastic range of live
performances, including a Pipa solo, poetry reading, Cheongsam show, Tai Chi
exercise, a sword dance, Chinese and Korean folk dances, a Saxophone and
Trumpet Trio.
Guest speakers provided valuable information on important topics such as falls and
injury prevention, scam prevention, stress reduction and monitoring high blood
pressure and cholesterol levels.
The event also gave the attendees the opportunity to check out an art exhibition,
featuring a special 3D paper tole art display, and participate in lucky draws and taste
the delicious food on offer.
ACCA appreciates the contribution of the organising team, the artists and performers
which made the event such a great success.
We would also like to thank the NSW Seniors Festival Grants team for providing the
grant which made this event possible and allowed us to celebrate Seniors Week with
the elderly from our community.
