Quote
of the Week
We have learned to whittle the Eden Tree to the shape of
a surplice peg, We have learned to bottle our parent twain
in the yelk of an addled egg. We know that the tail must
wag the dog, for the horse is drawn by the cart, But the
devil never whoops, as he of old; It's clever, but is it
art?

Special Community Support Exhibition by Solveig Larsen- Bellingen-
'Wall of Faces'
- Presenting the human face of the Bellingen Community. The
Bellingen Hospital is currently under threat of losing more
services and ceasing to function as an independent hospital.
The exhibition can be seen at the Bellingen Library in addition
to posting "Face-Boards" around town. It can be seen
as one walks into the Foyer of Bellingen Library. By photographing
people in the street, or at community functions I can relate
to them as individuals; speak to them about the concerns of
the hospital, then put them onto a Board with other individuals
who make up this rich, exciting and vivid community. This helps
engender a sense of connection, as well as personal and community
worth. The message is"Individuals Matter" and "People
Matter" all of which is crucial to one of the key Life
Structures of this community, our much loved Bellingen Hospital.
It is hoped that people will feel the necessity to act and speak
out on behalf of the Hospital as it fights for its survival.
A Rally will be held on May 15th in support of the Hospital
in Bellingen. Details on http://www.save-bellingen-hospital.com

Any
regional councils who may be interested, to provide a two-consecutive-day
Ukulele workshop (4 hours each day - a total of 8 hours per
group), to be run on a Saturday and Sunday. -
John Chandler.teaches ukulele at 13 different Adult Community
Colleges in and around Sydney, to groups of up to 15 people
each college, each term. This is in response to the current
huge resurgence of interest in the Ukulele worldwide, and with
Ukulele Clubs springing up all over Australia and the world.
I would like to offer my services to any regional councils who
may be interested, to provide a two-consecutive-day Ukulele
workshop (4 hours each day - a total of 8 hours per group),
to be run on a Saturday and Sunday. I have run such courses
in regional areas previously, including a recent one for the
Bourke Arts Council, with much success and students develop
a quick passion and excitement for the uke, once they realise
how quickly they are playing and having fun. It also promotes
good friendships amongst the students, who come from all walks
of life.
The Ukulele is quick to learn but has the potential for the
player to play sophisticated material from all genres, as it
is a legitimate instrument. It will allow people to explore
that up to now, unfulfilled musical interest that they may always
have had.
If you would like to talk to me further on this opportunity,
please return email me, or you may contact me on my mobile phone:
