3.p Last Friday, John & Pete attended a meeting called by Jane Arwus VFF, RDV, VBRRA Donations
Dept David Henderson (DEWAR), Dave Barker from Salvation Army. The meeting revolved
around developing the Flowerdale Economy. Flowerdale is a unique area, and unlike other
communities, shop fronts, industrial estates etc are not appropriate for our community.
Community interest tends towards organic industries Ƌ fruit & vegetables (integrated with the
new Propagation Unit to be shortly located at the Flowerdale Primary School and the Proposed
Community Garden), beef, fishing industries. John and Pete felt that the meeting was strongly
supportive of the Flowerdale Economy, and that the participants were extremely interested in
supporting this integrated project practically and financially.

1.p Judy read out letter from a Resident of Flowerdale who asked that every member of the
Flowerdale Community receive a painting from the Canberra Collection. However, Pete pointed
out that the intention of the donors was for Ɛpeople who lost their homesƑ. The meeting endorse
that the artists of the Canberra Collection be approached by Sharon Collins (Convenor of
Flowerdale Arts Work Engine) asking Rob to clarify the terms on which the artworks are to be
distributed. The FRC feels that this is appropriate because it is not part of our community-asked
for-agenda, and we have full confidence in the ability of the Arts work-engine to handle this
situation.

meeting also attended by representatives from VBRRA, MSC and DHS.

five minutes of time at the Flowerdale Forum II. Email also requested that the toilet facilities in
the Flowerdale Temporary Kindergarten be expanded and that the Flowerdale Fund monies be

has informed us that, since this email has been received a cheque in excess of $3000 is to be
immediately forwarded to the Flowerdale Kindergarten Committee.

Recovery, & has also been involved in the ƐReturn of the Sacred KingfisherƑ Festival (CERES).
