18 June Newsletter Friends of Eaglemont Village
Much more in the offing than can be revealed at this point, but let us arouse your interest by hinting at some positive developments re the built environment in and about the Eaglemont Village.
Eaglemont Mothers & Babies this Wednesday
Gather at the Eaglemont Dish with some other carers and parents - 1:30 p.m., coffee and cake courtesy of the Australia Post grant to Friends of Eaglemont Village for community development initiatives.
No fees, just come along for the company and the networking within your community.
Let us know if you would like some introductions and assistance setting up in-home playgroups for pre-schoolers.
National Tree Day Events
School event Friday 28th July
Friends of Eaglemont Village will support the Year 4 class of Ivanhoe Girls Grammar School with their environmental efforts again this year.
On 28 July there will be planting of trees (naturally), shrubs, grasses and native wildflowers at Substation West and Ashby Grove underpass.
Some FofEV volunteers will be needed to help these eager youngsters with the novelty of planting out seedlings.
Come along and "sow the seeds" for our future environmental carers.
Community event Sunday 30 July
We will hold a community working bee to begin planting the area adjacent the outbound platform recently cleared by volunteers from Equity Trustees.
As well as planting we will be doing some further clearing and landscaping - placing rocks, defining paths, weeding and pruning.
Make a diary entry now - be a practical part of improving where we live!
