BMBA Basketball at Stonnington Sports Centre
BMBA Basketball have just entered into a court allocation agreement with Active Stonnington that secures us court space to develop, build and establish basketball competitions at the Margaret Connellan Stadium in Malvern East right next door to Chadstone Shopping Centre. My name is Bob Mann and the BMBA is an acronym for the Bob Mann Basketball Academy.
We intend to evolve these court allocations and the competitions we develop into the Stonnington City Basketball Association. Please refer to the poster for contact details.

Help Bring The Spirit of Christmas to Vulnerable Children in Our Community
ASRC Foodbank, Dandenong
In 2022, the ASRC opened a second Foodbank in Dandenong to meet the increasing demand. On average, our food banks support 1,200 people seeking asylum each month, of which 40% are children. We rely on community support to keep our foodbank operational and believe working with your school can positively impact the lives of those who need it most.
Food Drive Registration
By asking students to donate food items, we can collectively provide food security to some of our community's most vulnerable members. You can sign up for our Winter Food Drive via our Registration Form and visit What to Donate for a list of the most needed items. To learn more about hosting a food drive, please visit asrc.org.au.
We appreciate your time and consideration in supporting our cause. Your potential involvement can make a difference in the lives of those in need, and we eagerly look forward to the possibility of working together to make a difference.
Kind regards
