Award for One of our Own Every two years Annette Ritchie travels to Hobart to manage the volunteer program for the Australian Wooden Boat Festival, the AWBF. The largest festival of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. Recently the AWBF took out Hobart City Council’s award for Best Practice in Volunteer Management for a Community Event at a recent ceremony at the Hobart Town Hall. The complex job of recruiting, communicating with and rostering more than 350 workers on site over 4 days goes to Volunteers Manager, Annette Ritchie, who is herself a volunteer. Annette travels all the way from her Sydney home for each festival and we are delighted that she is with us again for the 2015 event. Well done, Annette, this one’s for you! You’ve been asking for another Island Festival, well Emmie Collins is once again stepping up to the plate to organize the 2014 Winter Solstice Festival which will be held in Catherine Park on Saturday 22nd June, 10am to sunset. Come and warm your body and soul. There will be musicians, stalls, winter warming food and fun for the kids and adults alike. Don’t miss Emmie’s famous sunset lantern parade. If you would like to volunteer to assist with this year’s Winter Solstice, please get in touch with - Jenny - 0410 533 728 mailto:jenny_frazer@hotmail.com or Emmie - 0405 330 781 mailto:emstar@tpg.com. Annette is usually involved in the volunteer management role much closer to home at our Island festivals and said that in her experience, by volunteering you not only give back to your Community, but you can also learn a new set of skills and become involved and close to the action of the event.

Robbie is the French teacher @ St Luke's, Dee Why and her favourite topic is "vive la france" so come with appropriate food and attire its easy to dress rouge / blanc / bleu and she is most knowledgeable as she has lived in France for quiet some time. Also Robbie is new to the western foreshores and she lives with her partner Chris McGrath @ "Trincomalee" so WOW has been very vital for her to meet the locals and we do embrace the guys so feel free to invite your partners and we have been discussing the possible change from Wow to Pow ----- People on Water so as to include everyone. Angela Cooney has kindly offered to host WOW 27 September or 18 October in Elvina Bay, the date to be confirmed closer to the time and she is a zoologist so her first love is the animals and environment. So we have two very diverse topics and look forward to your contribution and it follows on very well from the seed freedom movement and the Quality of water and in general our well being.
