Returning to Emmy for the fourth time, the world-renowned The Harvard Krokodiloes brought their trademark charisma back to our stage. Their old-school charm, exceptional a ca****la harmonies and natural showmanship captivated the audience from start to finish. A glance around the room revealed smiles, tapping toes and residents dancing in their seats.
Andy, a Krok from North Carolina, said, “We love performing at Emmy Monash – we always receive such a warm welcome and enthusiasm from the audience.”
This experience was made possible thanks to the Emmy Monash Foundation.

Today at Emmy, it was Random Act of Kindness Day.
We treated our team members to a small bag of goodies as a gentle reminder to pause, recharge and feel valued for everything they do.
Follow our lead, and do something kind for someone else today, just because. After all, kindness grows best when we share it.

At Emmy Monash, tradition and community connections shape daily life in meaningful ways.
Bringing generations together, sharing stories, and a sense of belonging, are central to our residents’ wellbeing and identity.
So important to Jewish life, yet these experiences are not government funded. They are only possible through the generosity of our community.
Your support during our Annual Appeal helps ensure our residents keep culture, community and connections strong.

Our residents recently visited the First Nations art exhibition at Glen Eira Town Hall, returning inspired by the richness and detail of the Indigenous artworks.
That inspiration found its way straight into our creative arts program, where residents used dot painting techniques to create their own artworks inspired by Australian wildlife.
Their pieces will soon be on display at the Corner Store, extending the connection from the gallery into our community.
Experiences like these support creativity, connection and wellbeing.
