Many thanks to the Rotary Interact Club of Camberwell Grammar for their $5,000 donation to Operation Toilets, following Mark Balla's presentation on Oct 5.
This will help support the potential new Rotary Foundation WASH (Water and Sanitation Hygiene Education) Global Grant, still in planning stages, in northern India. Mark will be onsite in November for planning.
Next working bee at Wattle Hill community garden area
The next weeding and mulching working bee will be held at the communal garden area next to Rentoul Hall in the Wattle Hill estate on Saturday 14 October (10am to 12 midday). Please contact John Elrington on 0449 762 010 if you are interested in participating.
The primary aim of the free seed libraries is to promote growing of food plants at home, with a primary focus on vegetables and herbs.
Whitehorse Manningham Libraries (WML) is trialling vegetable and herb seed libraries at its Vermont South and Warrandyte branches.
If Club members and friends have surplus vegetable and herb seeds at home, please consider donating them at these two library branches.
From ES committee
WML’s long term goal is to make these seed libraries self-sustaining, with local residents donating surplus seeds as well as ‘borrowing’ them.
Thanks Geoff for this recent holiday snap! ..............Think we need a billboard???
