RALLY FOR THE VALLEY GREAT ADVENTURE WALK

DON’T PANIC MR MANNERING

Sub-prime crisis (whatever that is), US recession, Share Market heading south, Fuel prices heading north and you not getting any younger. It’s all too hard. Maybe it’s time to cut and run? Maybe not!

To say we are in interesting economic times would be something of an understatement. The Aussie economy, riding at least partly on the back of high demand for our resources appears to be powering along reasonably well in an uncertain world. The goings-on in the US certainly have an impact on our economic well-being, but we are truly part of a global economy today and the US economy isn’t the whole story any more. There’s China, of course and a heap of other trading partners in Asia and Europe, not to mention Japan.

DAYBORO SHOW BUSH DANCE

Mark the date in your Dayboro Calendar, Saturday 29th March 2008.  The venue is the same, Dayboro Showgrounds and the start time is 7pm.

The Burning Bush Band will provide the entertainment and if the dancing is as fast and furious as last year, get ready to have the time of your life.  Just watching the antics on the dance floor is fun; just ask someone who was there last year, a great night of family fun was had by all.

It was party time for the playgroup in December with the kids enjoying the annual pool party. Santa visited and was received well as were the gifts he was giving. The swimming and eating seemed to wear the little ones out and many went home very tired as did a few parents. It was the adults turn to party next with a delightful dinner at the Ocean View Estate winery. The AGM was held and with all the formalities out the way much of the local produce was sampled and lots of fun was had by all who attended. Now we must return to some form of normality.

WELCOME BACK

Well, the all too short Christmas/New Year break is behind us and everyone will have been gearing up for return to work, preparing for school, keeping the weeds under control, mowing the lawns, signing the kids on for sport or for our volunteers getting ready for another year of community service.  With local government elections taking place on 15^th March, I look forward to the opportunity of continuing to work with the community and applying my skills and experience in meeting the challenges brought about by creation of Australia’s third largest council.  It will be critical to us all for this amalgamation to be as smooth as possible so that the services, facilities and lifestyle we have grown to enjoy in Pine Rivers are protected.  Have a good year.
