MANY THANKS to all those who have taken out financial membership (only $10 a year) and/or donated plants; and to all who came and helped us weed, tidy up and plant on Alandale Road earlier this month. Because it is still very dry, we used water storing crystals in the planting holes to give the new plants a fighting chance. Thanks also to all those people keeping things going, watering our plants.

THANKS also to Alida McKern, who, in her private capacity nominated us for a JagaJaga community award.

L-R: Secretary Mike Fittall, committee member Pippa Griffith, The Honourable Kate Thwaites, President Steve Cullen.

With our nominator, Alida McKern, and supporter Robin who got her own award for her work with Footscape.
