Meeting 13th May

A major issue for our group has been where to meet. We have been very appreciative of the Yarra Centre who have provided the child-care room on a temporary basis. We are all very pleased to learn that Cr. Chris Templaar has provided a grant to enable us to hire a room at the Yarra Junction library for our meetings. This means that on 10th June our executive will meet at the Yarra Junction library at 7.00 pm and all future meetings will be at this venue. All except for the 14th October which is our AGM and always held at the Yarra Junction Bowling Club.

Shop local campaign?? Should this campaign be considered to boost shopping in Yarra Junction ? To support the businesses here who have suffered earlier in the year due to the bushfires.

Remember to pass on to friends, colleagues and family about our blog site to enable us to receive your feedback and consider any issues that may arise in your neighbourhood.

Currently we are working upon our Strategic Plan to set directions for the next 12 months. An integral part of our Strategic Plan is the Upper Yarra Community Building Initiative. This strategic plan will be a wonderful structure to enable our committee to have a foundation to work upon.
