It was planted by a nephew of Rev. Nordmeyer, Barney McCone. The tree was donated by Danny and Kay Winstanley. On Sunday 30th September a community afternoon tea was held to also acknowledge the anniversary. This was also an opportunity to trial the idea of a regular community get-to-gether. Those who were able to attend enjoyed the antics of Charlie the Clown as he created balloon animals and taught the art of large bubble making to the attendees. While the group was small in number the laughter was loud and great conversations were had. HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE ISLAND LATELY? Lots of praise for the completed shelter from visitors who also value the seating provided. Just one query was asked: why are dogs allowed off a leash in this community space? I had no answer as am sure the By-Laws prohibit this. Your input appreciated on this issue.

Just a note- they do not accept electrical goods. "NEWS FLASH": Its going to happen, on 1st January 2019, Kurow Main Street, Festival Market Day.

Make time for your hobbies and favourite projects, or to broaden your horizons. Do a daily crossword puzzle, plant a garden, take dance lessons, learn to play an instrument or become fluent in another language. 2. Take care of your body: Taking care of yourself physically can improve your mental health. 3. Surround yourself with good people: People with strong family or social connections are generally healthier than those who lack a support network. Make plans with supportive family members and friends, or seek out activities where you can meet new people, such as a club, class or support group. 4. Give yourself: Volunteer your time and energy to help someone else. You'll feel good about doing something tangible to help someone in need — and it's a great way to meet new people. 5. Learn how to deal with stress: Like it or not, stress is a part of life. Practice good coping skills: do Tai Chi, exercise, take a nature walk, play with your pet or try journal writing as a stress reducer. Also, remember to smile and see the humour in life. Research shows that laughter can boost your immune system, ease pain, relax your body and reduce stress. 6. Quiet your mind: Try meditating, Mindfulness and/or prayer.
