M&MMCH February 2025 Newsletter

Welcome to 2025 – the Macedon & Mount Macedon Community House Committee of Management are looking forward to a year of consolidation, finishing a few projects and fine tuning the running and promotion of the House!

We achieved some amazing results in 2024 which is evident in the new gardens that surround the House, and the growing number of programs being offered. We could not have achieved this without the support of our sponsors Welcome to 2025! Already lots has been happening at the M&MMCH House and lots to come for the year.
