DAY TRIP TO BENDIGO

SUNDAY 13 NOVEMBER 2011

Dear Members the long-awaited outing to Jewish Bendigo will require you to drive your own car, as we believe a bus will not cope with the expected numbers.

We will meet at 10.45am at

BENDIGO NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE 21 NEALE STREET KENNINGTON 3550 (The local Progressive community, Kehillat S'dot Zahav, will hold a short Shacharit service at 10am at the Neighborhood House, to which all are welcome.)

Two speakers will tell us about the Jewish community and its involvement in the gold mining industry.

Morning tea will be provided and you will be given information about the activities we have arranged - these include a guided walk in Bendigo for an hour or so (or if you prefer, a drive-by of places of Jewish interest), all with notes to be provided.

Bring your own picnic lunch, which will be at the home of Helen Bruinier, a local historian and descendant of the pioneering Cohn family - Helen will tell us about her remarkable Jewish family, which came to Bendigo from Denmark in 1853.

1a PLANTE COURT CORNER OF RESERVOIR ROAD STRATHDALE 3550

WHITE HILLS PUBLIC CEMETERY CORNER HOLDSWORTH ROAD AND PLUMRIDGE STREET WHITE HILLS 3550 On the way back to Melbourne we have been invited to have afternoon tea at “Beektah”, Mia Mia, the farm property of Hon Howard Nathan QC.
