An exhibition that showcases the work of local volunteers

By Carol McCormack - 25th June 2002 - Back to News

"Celebrate and Participate, an exhibition that showcases the work of local volunteers will be on display at the Wonthaggi Community Arts Centre from 1-7 July. The exhibition will be open from 10am to 7pm daily and entry is free.

"The exhibition has been well received at the other locations it has already toured," said Jenny Churchill, Arts and Leisure Coordinator with Council.

"People have commented that they weren’t aware of the number of volunteers in the Shire and the diversity of work that they do," she said.

The photographic exhibition includes volunteers from more than 45 local community groups.

Celebrate and Participate was put together to celebrate the Year of the Volunteer in Bass Coast, using funding from the Victorian State Government.

It will tour the Shire throughout 2002. The next exhibition will be at the Inverloch Community Centre on Wednesday 10 July.

For more information, contact Council on (03) 5671 2211 or 5951 3311.
