Here are some options: http://www.eastgippsland.vic.gov.au/About_Us/Your_Council/Council_Grants_2012-2013 However the SpAusnet grant I was thinking of has now closed, but there are other ones here. You could ring and speak to Ruth Fitzclarence for ideas...she's the grants officer and is very lovely and will give you ideas. Be aware also the Council has a discretionary budget, so feel free to write a letter to the mayor or Councillors. See http://www.eastgippsland.vic.gov.au/About_Us/Your_Council/Councillors Also there is an Arts advisory board. I'm the sustainability officer (part-time 2 days) and love your idea, but have limited time to be involved. The other idea I had was linking in with the Tip Shop?? Getting some of their items and fixing them up. I know of a great project in the latrobe valley, where they got old and dumped bikes from the tip, and did them up with disenfranchised youth, who then got to keep the bikes! Was a great success I gather. Anyway, I'd like to help where I can and will keep my eyes open for more grant/funding options. Kind regards Beck Lamble rebeccal@egipps.vic.gov.au Hi,

Is this the best use of resources for recreational boating improvements for all of East Gippsland. Expected to cost $6 million.

I thought it might be of interest to you. If you could share or like it that would be even better, and you could call in a favor with me someday to do the same with some of your content. http://www.bradfordhines.com/Limor-Fried-interview/ Kindly, Brad Hi:

In the street near the side gate at 50 greene St., I left 2 black desk chairs at the front door for table use. The shire meetings at Community college should be good to attend. I saw Box Hill Community Art centre yesterday and collected a book on their user groups. It is possibly easier to maintain than ours.. I have a lot of sticks from the big red gum trees.
