Based on our printing costs, our annual costs are generally in the range of

Annual Advertising needs to cover the major portion of our costs, since we
have minimal other income.
The Annual Advert charges therefore need to increase (on average) to the

Our Grade 6 students wrote and
illustrated a fictional book for their
Prep     buddies    and    read   and
presented it to them.

The books main character was their
prep buddy and they had to present
an underlying message in the story,
eg: bravery, kindness, resilience!
Terrific work everyone!

                                         Last week the whole school attended a very special Smoking Ceremony to
                                         officially open the Dreamtime Garden. It was an amazing opportunity to not
                                         only celebrate the hard work students have put in, but also to recognise and
                                         appreciate our local indigenous culture and traditions.
                                         We would like to extend a big thank you to Uncle Rick Ronnan for all of his
                                         hard work throughout this project, and for performing the ceremony. We are
                                         very lucky to have someone such as Rick here in our community! We would
                                         also like to thank Kathy Connors for all of the effort she has put in and is still
                                         doing so! All of the behind the scenes work certainly does not go unnoticed

Our entertainer was Reg Poole who
did us proud.
During the day lucky door and raffle
prizes were drawn with Norm, Alan and
Monda being the lucky winners of
plants and preserves. Members of
other clubs were also lucky recipients.

A most enjoyable fruit cake made by
Betty   Mustey     and     delightfully
decorated by local Cheryl Fisher was
cut by Val Kuiper.

We were extremely grateful for the
wonderful grant we received from
Bendigo Bank which made the event
the success that it was.

We were saddened not to have Joy

valuable source of help and knowledge
as our Assistant Secretary to our Club.

Moama Arts Initiative. The group has strong
connections to EMAI and The Foundry Arts Space
and each artist has contributed in many ways to the
arts in the Echuca Moama region. Official opening
11am Saturday 22nd May 2021, at The Foundry
Arts Space, Murray Esplanade in the Port of
Echuca precinct. Open 10am-4pm daily until
Sunday 20th June, 2021.
Bronwyn Morton, Anne Mawson, Penny Silver and
Kerry Williams have worked together on many
community arts projects over the past decade. They
value collaboration and support each other in their
artistic pursuits.
The title of their first group exhibition, Inside Job,
explores their different approaches to art making.
“In recent times, we have experienced isolation that
has restricted our ability to explore the outside
world. We have all had to make do, compromise,
and use what we already have,” explains Mawson.
The collection of art, that includes works on paper,
canvas and board, celebrates the creativity
individuals can gain from focusing on what is
immediately before us, and what comes from within.
This approach may be intuitive, spontaneous
and process driven.
Inside Job opens at the Foundry Arts Space on May
22 until 20 June, 2021

                                                         I think this is a good approach for everyone to take,

                                                         We need to be observant and responsive to what’s

The weekly game of Scrounge attracted another quality
field on Wednesday. Anne Lowrie continued her fine
recent form to amass 68 points to win rink four ahead of
Lorraine Appleby and Mary Thomas. Rink one belonged
to Club President Ray Hanson after scoring 50 points in a
rare reversal of form to keep at bay Jim Harris 42. On rink
two, our new member John Fisher displayed some talent
to finish on 55 points and win the chocolates from Steve
Peter 44 points. The final rink was a winner for Graeme
Turner in scoring 56 points to edge out fellow left-hander
Andy Harris on 45 points while (T.J.) Terry Malone carried
