Contact Lunches

The ‘Contact Lunch’ series is a community initiative that aims to build supportive relationships between local community organisations and groups. Held on a bi-monthly basis, the host organisation invites representatives from organisations and groups in the City of Armadale to attend lunch meetings. The host gives a brief presentation and provides light refreshments. Representatives usually bring their own lunch and introduce their service to the group. Participants are encouraged to distribute their pamphlets and business cards.

General information about the Contact Lunch series can be obtained by contacting Lee Holben at the City of Armadale on 9399 0630 or email lholben@armadale.wa.gov.au
