Two scholarships valued at $3000 each are available to local creative artists working in any arts discipline, including but not limited to, performing arts, visual arts, literature, multi-media and screen arts. The scholarship program commenced in 2008 and has provided support to more than 40 artists including musicians, authors, painters, film makers, print makers, sculptors, poets and photographers. The Veolia Creative Arts Scholarships were established to support the creative culture in our region and recognise the valuable contribution artists make to enrich our community. The selection committee, headed by Patron of the Veolia Creative Arts Scholarship Jennifer Lamb, will award two $3000 scholarships for artists to further their arts practice or to undertake a program of arts study. Scholarships are available for practicing and emerging artists from any one of the seven Local Government Areas serviced by the Veolia Mulwaree Trust, including Goulburn Mulwaree, Oberon, Shoalhaven, Upper Lachlan, Wingecarribee, Wollondilly and the former Palerang Council area.

It's been a difficult few months for Windellama, our neighbouring communities and many communities across NSW dealing with the bushfires and their immediate property, economic, physical and psychological impact. Lifeline has a new dedicated phone number for Bushfire Recovery Support. If you need to reach out and talk to someone 13 HELP (13 43 57). It's ok to reach out for help if you are struggling. It’s also OK to reach out to your mates, neighbours and relatives if you think they are struggling. This includes if firefighters or other emergency services personnel. If you are experiencing a personal crisis help is available. No one needs to face their problems alone. It is available 24/7. We still have some time before the end of the official bush fire season which goes to at least 31 March 2020. We traditionally have had fires in Windellama during March so even with the recent rain we cannot be complacent. Therefore, it is still important that you and your family have a bush fire survival plan and know what you will do if a fire threatens. Use www.myfireplan.com.au.
