From the House … By Marcelle Renkin, Program Coordinator
Activities and events Once again we have a variety of meetups, courses and activities on offer, something for everyone!
Yarning Sessions on Wadawurrung Country
Check the events section on our website for more details. The final session in this program for 2021/22 will be held in conjunction with our last Farmers’ Market of the season on 18 March.
Check out our Activities, Courses and Events guide in this issue for ideas on how you can get involved in our local community through some of our regular and welcoming groups.
Come along and join in our Music and Storytelling session as we provide a safe inclusive space to learn more about First Nations culture and connection to land.
Anglesea Twilight Farmers’ Market The Farmers’ Markets have started again for the season. We farewelled our previous market manager James McLennan and wish him well. We have welcomed a new market manager, Mic Stapleton, and look forward to working with him throughout the season. We’ve had a variety of new stall holders and many of our regular favourites attend our first few markets, and we look forward to seeing you join us at our future markets on the first and third Fridays until March 2022.

In February we will be holding a ‘Discomforting Truths’ session.
Power saving bonus
We have been overwhelmed by the support for this program, an initiative bought to us by volunteer Wendy Clark. Demand for our Walk on Country sessions was very high, so for those who missed out please keep a look out for extra dates in 2022.
We have had the opportunity to help our community members access the state government funded $250 Power Saving Bonus. This is available to anyone in any of the following concession programs: Centrelink Pensioner Concession; JobSeeker; Youth Allowance; Austudy/Abstudy; or Department of Veterans Affairs Pensioner Concession. This is on offer until 31 January 2022.
