Clr Sidoti offically cuts the ribbon to the opening of Australias 67th Fantastic Furniture store in Burwood. Communities like ours in Burwood rely on local businesss and it is wonderful to see a successful  business like Fantastic Furniture branching out into our local area. We congratulate and welcome the staff and management at Burwoods new store and welcome them into our Business community. I’m sure the store will benefit from our community support and in tern the Locals will benefit from the opportunity to buy quality furnishings at very affordable prices. Happy business and good luck.

Clr John Sidoti attends a function at the Burwood Library to celebrate international refugee week and to sign a declaration that Burwood along with 70 other Councils are a welcome zone for refugees. it is a symbolic agreement to acknowledge our obligations as individuals and as a nation to tolerance and understanding and to be simpathetic to those less fortunate than ourselves. A very special day indeed. many thanks to Council staff and all those present.

Cr Sidoti attends the Centenary Mass for the Christian Brothers College Burwood at St Mary’s Cathedral Sydney. What was probably one of the most inspiring services I have attended. The music was absolutely sensational , the service by Cardinal George Pell was brilliant and the tributes to both former teachers and students  by the principal Mr Calton very moving. Best of luck to everyone and good luck to the Southern Cross Catholic Vocational College that will commence when Christian Brothers closes at the end of the year.

Cr Sidoti attends a Mass to celebrate the feast of “Mary of Miracles’  A wonderful service by Fr Chris of Holy innocents church in Croyden. A barbeque was held after the mass and raffles were conducted with money i believe going to the Italian disaster victims in Italy, Abbruzzo. Congratulations to Liugi Buccerelli and his committee on a job well done.

Visited St Josephs Maronite Church in Croyden to talk to the local priest.
