The beginning of March was hectic but very rewarding with our second year hosting the Art show on the Labour Day long weekend opposite the Begonia Festival.
Many thanks to my co-leads Michelle and Deb who put in many long hours to make this more successful than last. With an increase of artist entries from far and wide, interactive events for both children & adults and our wonderful team of volunteers, without who, none of the event would be possible.
Many thanks to Jim & Ray from the Community Care Centre, the members of Buninyong Lions, our friends of Rotary, our superb volunteers hanging the many artworks, our artists Lisa who was wonderful with Deb managing the creative children’s sessions and Vicki, managing the Junior schools art competition and Vino & Van Gogh. Many thanks also to the set up & pack up teams for lugging heavy items and doing whatever had to be done.
Artist, Jon Lam won the ‘People’s choice award’ with a misty impression of the Town Hall, Sturt St and will be presented with a certificate and small gift at a later meeting.
It is with sadness we say farewell to members Heather who is relocating to Echuca and our President Elect and current Secretary, Lee- Anne to Wodonga.
These members will be missed. Nominations are welcome to fill the void.
March also keeps our catering committee busy with BBQs for Bunnings, Integra and Commerce Ballarat as well as Eat Up sandwich making and delivery.
