Healesville Spinners & Weavers

Today we went to the Healesville Spinners and Weavers group and learnt to use food dye and jelly to dye our own fleece by either boiling it on the stove or using the microwave. Some fascinating coloured fleece resulted. This is a great group of very talented people and I highly recommend that crafters alike check out this gathering on the first Saturday of each month at the Badger Creek Hall from 10 am till 2 roughly ... mind you after our workshop today I think it was well past 4 when we headed home. Contact me for further details.

Township Network Meeting

Tonight we attended the Township Network Meeting and it was a great opportunity to hear about projects amongst the other township and community groups. We heard about water tanks, grafiti cleanup, planting & painting, masterplanning reserves to just name a few. This meeting was invaluable in sharing issues and gaining ideas.

Next Wednesday is our monthly meeting and we are making final plans for our AGM and Community Forum for October 14th. We would like to kick start our Strategic Planning with speakers to talk under themes set by our future portfolios - environment, safety .... ummm ... what else!!! We seek input from the Community!!! What issues are of concern? What portfolios should we concentrate on? What values to the community? What networks should be formed?

Join us and tell us your needs so we can work with the community to seek funds for projects to make the Upper Yarra a fantastic place to live, work and play!!!!!
