It’s lovely to see the Eden RSL Sub-Branch utilising Mumbulla Community Foundation grant to purchase a PA system. For years, they relied on borrowed equipment for commemorations.
Now, this PA system will be used on an ongoing basis for commemorating Anzac Day, Remembrance Day, and Vietnam Veterans Day, as well as for community events like Easter and Halloween, allowing for better public engagement.
Our Foundation proudly supported the Ephemeral Festival, a wonderful event that connects our community to each other and to the natural beauty of the Panboola landscape. Thank you to the organisers at Panboola for putting together this celebration of creativity and community.
It was fantastic to see so many talented artists and performers come together for the festival on Saturday. The Ephemeral Festival is a true testament to the vibrant spirit of our local community and the inspiring power of the Panboola environment.
Congratulations to Jane Hughes, Manager of the Bega Wom Ensouth Women’s Resource Centre representing the Southern Women’s Group, who has won an Elsie Award.
Jane and Jade from the Bega Women’s Resource Centre (WRC) attended the Elsie Conference at the University of Technology Sydney. The conference focused on domestic violence, honouring achievements in this field, addressing evolving issues, and discussing responses. It also recognized the unique challenges faced by diverse groups.
WRC reported: “The conference sessions were as enlightening as they were empowering. Topics ranged from the critical role of specialist women’s services in ending violence against women to the evolving challenges posed by technology-facilitated abuse. There were also eye-opening discussions on domestic violence within the LGBTQ+ community and the necessity of refuge responses tailored to their unique needs.”
Mumbulla Community Foundation is happy we could help
