Business makes Disney come true

A Dandenong South business delivered a Disney dream to Wallara.
Turner Engineering has a corporate box at Rod Laver Arena and after several visits to the disability service provider’s Dandenong Plaza pop up shop, a staff member offered 17 tickets to the Disney On Ice Magical Ice Festival event.
“Three staff went to the event as well and made such a fuss of our guys,” spokeswoman Karen Scholey said.
“They just had the best day ever.”
The show whisked audiences into the wintery world of Disney’s Frozen, with characters from The Little Mermaid, Tangled and Beauty and the Beast also making appearances on the ice.
Parents, volunteers and the then-City of Dandenong Council established Wallara in 1959 to help kids with disabilities.
Today it provides supported and independent accommodation for people with a disability, and services to about 550 people from 30 sites across the south-east.
