Thanks to Foundation Director Joanne Shentu and a basket of willing sausage sizzlers we are all set for a successful fundraiser at Bunnings Hawthorn, September 12th. But do spread the word and come along for lunch if you can. The sausages are said to be exceptional!
Funds raised will go towards ShelterBox Australia, currently engaged in providing emergency shelter and supplies for victims of the tragedy in Nepal.
Well the Council's compost may not have turned up for Garden Day at the Boroondara Farmers Market, but the patrons and stallholders sure did. There were of course all the usual fabulous produce and food stalls, but the Council's Sustainability stall proved popular, with their amazing seed bombs and seedling give-aways. Attendances continue to grow for the market, which is very good news with spring just around the corner. The next market this coming Saturday, August 29th, will be the ever popular doggy day. So bring your pooch and enjoy a morning's shopping with friends, including four-legged ones. Now that's something special you won't get at the supermarket!

It also gave RCG the opportunities to present our Club and hear what students are looking for in the transition to employment.
