FAREWELL JUDY WASHINGTON

Judy Washington has served with distinction as Local History Librarian for more than 20 years.

During this time she has enriched our lives by patiently collecting information on the history and development of Lane Cove, and in preserving and cataloguing this valuable collection so that it can be easily accessed by all.

Judy has been particularly effective in documenting the history of Greenwich, and has been most generous with her time in making numerous presentations to us. Her most recent illustrated talk on Greenwich at Federation on 28^th November 2001 was a well-attended highlight.

Judy will reminisce briefly on some of the highlights during her long period of service here, and we will conclude our meeting by adding farewell drinks to our usual closing supper session.

Local dog owner are encouraging their fellow visiting dog owners to make use of these for both their own and other residents enjoyment of the park areas.

WHERE ARE YOUR LAWN CLIPPINGS GOING - A QUESTION

When you have your lawns cut, where are the clippings going ??? Some contractors are just tipping them over the fence into adjacent bushland reserves. The various bush regeneration programmes that have been showing such wonderful results in recent years have been hampered by such practices.

Grass clippings, when dumped or washed from adjacent gardens are bad for regeneration as they introduce seeds of incompatible grasses and weeds into the balanced natural native environment. If you have a contract lawn mower please make sure they are disposing of clippings satisfactorily

MANNS PT BUSHCARE GROUP

Following the address from Rosanna Luca a bushcare group has been formed at Manns Pt

An introductory bush walk and afternoon tea will be held on Saturday, 17^th August, from 3.00 pm to 4.30 pm, and the first work day will be on Saturday 31^st August from 9.00 to 12.00. All welcome. Meet at the turning circle at Manns Pt.

Bushcare is a great opportunity to meet new people, gain new skills, enjoy he outdoors and care for your community.
