recently received a
community safety
grant from NRMA.
The target audience
for the grant is low socio economic schools

team with the chance to educate students
that don’t usually access our program.

successful presentation at Birrong Girls High

J.P Devillecourt 4 out of 5 coffees
Highly Recommend 100% YES
On the 4th of September Kathryn and I went to the Java Lava Café for coffee located at 44 Marco Ave Revesby
NSW 2212. It was easy to park the car out the front of the café there are disabled car parks right
out the front. The room was unbelievable and very cosy with warm colours. There is plenty of
room to move around and easily accessible with my walker. I ordered a small hot chocolate and
it was great. I had a piece of chocolate mud cake with cream to eat and it was beautiful. $6.95 for
a small coffee and cake of the day and I would definitely go again. I would recommend the Java
Lave Café for readers. They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as coffee and cakes. Prices
range from $5 - $18, lunch $9 - $20 and dinner ranges from $15 - $33. I rate this coffee shop a 4/5.

IRTHDAY LIST
Thank you to everyone involved in the Bankstown
Local Business Awards.
I started my business on the 5th December 1994. I will
say it has been the hardest 20 years of my life. Having
a Brain Injury and trying to run the Business has been
very challenging.
Thank you to my son Glen, Headway ADP, Michael,
my mentors, Kerry and everyone who have been a
part of teaching me how to run my business and
giving me the strength to keep going.
Thank you so much to the loyal customers who have supported
me over the years. I am finally able to say I am looking forward to
my business growing and achieving many new goals. Being a finalist in the Bankstown Local
Business Awards is a real honour.
Thank you
