JUST A FEW WORDS ...
Things have been a bit hectic here in the office for the last few weeks while Heather has been off on holidays through Central Australia, what a way to beat the cold and rain ! But Steve and I have been plugging on giving local support to local people.
I have had a fantastic response from the letters I have been sending out to keep the directory up to date. The responses have been varied, with many people taking up the option of putting a link to their website, for just $50 per year it's a great way to promote your business and help with search engine listings at the same time, a few businesses have taken up the option of a profile page, which is also great value and gives you so many benefits without going all the way to having your own website, just as importantly people have been updating their details, this is so important, it helps people find you with the correct information but also keeps the directory up to date and useable.
Thank you so much to those people that have returned their forms, if you have one and haven't yet returned it, please send it back to me as soon as you can. I still have lots of letters to send out, so if you haven't received one yet, don't worry you probably still will, but you can also change or update your details from the front page of the Healesville Biz Directory.
Until the next newsletter, take care and enjoy the Spring !
Sally, Heather and Steve

GRAFFITI REMOVAL WHEELIE BIN Healesville Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the Shire of Yarra Ranges have started a new initiative to reduce the amount of graffiti we have around our streets. Located behind the IGA store is a wheelie bin that can be borrowed by anyone wanting to get rid of graffiti off buildings, fences, windows, just about anywhere really. This bin contains graffiti removal chemicals, paint brushes, bins, goggles and gloves to safely get rid of the graffiti. If you would like to use the bin please contact Michael at IGA on 5962 6144 If you would like to get a group together as a community service, to remove large areas of graffiti, there is available within the shire a trailer graffiti removal kit, it has a few extra things in it to make it easier for larger areas. It would be fantastic to clean up Healesville and keep it graffiti free ! If you are interested in borrowing the trailer please contact Merrin Auldist from the Shire on 9294 6716. |

COMMUNITY 3777
Community 3777 is an energetic group of people who are passionate about making things happen in our community. They are looking for new members to help make Healesville a vibrant and up to date place to be. The AGM is to be held on the 6th September, 7pm at the Living and Learning Centre. Due to the impact of the bushfires last years AGM was not held. Changes to the constitution will be presented to make the group more representative of the organisations in town and easier for these groups to come along and get involved. A revamp of the constitution is planned, to encourage new members to attend meetings and contribute their ideas. The meeting will then be more representative of the membership, greater networking can take place and cross pollination of ideas can be facilitated. Some of the significant projects Community 3777 have initiated are, The BMX Track upgrade, Car Torque in partnership with Rotary, The Healesville Men's Shed, The Town Entrance Project and the Green Street Toilet Upgrade. If you feel you have something to contribute and would like to join this group, you would be welcome at the AGM or you can contact Karen Kisala at the Living and Learning Centre on 5962 5982. |
