The Lowdown
It’s time to celebrate the amazing parents and carers in our community — with a special Thank You Dinner at Johnny’s Place! For one night, the centre will be transformed into a restaurant where our clients will prepare, serve, and clean up after the meal, with support from staff. It’s a heartfelt way to show appreciation while teaching valuable daily living skills.
What to Expect
A Unique Dining Experience: Clients will take on the role of chefs, wait staff, and helpers, creating a warm, restaurant-style evening just for you.
Teaching Life Skills: From cooking and teamwork to cleaning up after the meal, this activity offers clients hands-on experience in practical daily living skills — all while saying thank you in the most meaningful way.
Schedule: Clients will need to arrive at 1:00pm to set up and prepare the meals. Parents and carers are invited to arrive at 4:30pm to enjoy the dinner. Up to three guests per person are welcome to join.
Delicious Meals: Your $30.00 contribution covers both your meal and your client’s meal. The menu will include entrée, main, dessert, and refreshments throughout the evening, with the final menu available closer to the date so you can pre-order your selections.
A Night of Appreciation: Relax, enjoy a beautifully prepared meal, and let our clients show their gratitude for everything you do.
This isn’t just a dinner — it’s a celebration of care, teamwork, and gratitude, all served up in style at Johnny’s Place.
