50th Celebration and Book Launch of “Crossing the Divide”

On the 10th of June, the Hon John Elferink MLA, kindly hosted a function at Parliament House for over 200 guests and dignitaries to celebrate Somerville’s 50th Birthday and launch our book “Crossing the Divide”.

“Crossing the Divide” is the story of Somerville Community Services, a story of compassion and commitment through fifty years of community service. Somerville helps people Cross the Divide, the divide between disadvantage and advantage. Written by acclaimed Territory authors Peter and Sheila Forrest, the book is a comprehensive and well-illustrated account of Somerville’s work to provide hope and support for people who need it, so that everyone can lead better lives.

A big thank you to Minister Elferink for hosting a wonderful and enjoyable evening.
