What is this about and what to do

You may recall our March story where we featured Oscar & his team who was raising money for Leukemia by having his mullet shaved as part of the Leukemia Foundation’s - World’s Greatest Shave.

Well…. Oscar raised a whopping $3,000 on his own. But it’s not too late to donate a little more…..

Well done Oscar and team!!

"Greater integration between existing community groups business and organisations: something to unite them" was workshopped at the Helping Hands Community Forum in late March.

Some of the items discussed included how our community groups could better plan and co-ordinate community events; better utilise volunteers and achieve a better overall integration of their activities.

The Devil Comet (called 12P/Pons-Brooks) is passing by Earth (only once every 71 years).

It is called this as it has two bright tails trailing it as it shoots into space (look like devil’s horns).

Another of the themes for the ideas for Korumburra is Pride in our Community - past, present and future.

A group of community members reviewed those ideas at the recent Helping Hands - Community Forum.

They focussed on some of the next steps required to take some of these ideas through to reality.

We encourage you to have a look at their work. If you are keen to lend a Helping Hand to get one or some of these ideas up an running, please contact us for more information
