INDIGENOUS DAY 2014
FOC were invited to deliver morning tea and a light lunch whilst the elders presented their Indigenous meals and recipes. Tastings and banter was had by all. Lots of stories about how the animals and trees got their names. Interesting.
HANDS OFF COCKBURN CAMPAIGN
Norm and Serena were two of the four spokespeople showcasing the suburbs of the City of Cockburn. This is Coolbellup – the FOC provided food and information regarding the council boundary changes with determination and optimism of the Hands Off Cockburn campaign. Because of our tenacity and hard work we as a united community group won our battle and because of it no boundary changes were made the whole idea was scrapped. Winners!
AUSTRALIA DAY 2012
FOC cooked three thousand beef sausages and fifty roo and emu snags – it was amazing! We were exhausted!
I met Norm and Serena at the end of 2020 and I must say I was blown away by the FOC. Such a simple idea, that benefits so many people.
What we do is about giving back. We see so many people in need in the community, and we have the time and energy to do something about it.
I hope that we can help as many people as possible. We do whatever we can, to help those around us in our community.
