    Location: SpringDale
    Time: 11:00am on Saturday, 4th June

    Come and hear how Australia can make the switch to 100% renewable energy in 10 years. Beyond Zero Emissions (BZE) is an independent, volunteer-based research group.

    Their award winning plan was developed in partnership with the University of Melbourne Energy Institute, is fully-costed and provides baseload power, and uses commercially available technology already going ahead overseas.

    This is our blueprint for a future freed from climate-changing fossil fuels.

    Diabetes Awareness Week

    By SpringDale on Sun 11th Jul 2010

    In Australia, nearly two thirds of men and half of all women are overweight. This is a key factor in the alarming rise of type 2 Diabetes.

    Up to 60% of Diabetes cases could be prevented or delayed, by people maintaining a normal weight through healthy eating and regular physical activity.

    Diabetes Awareness Week runs from 11 to 17 July 2010.

    Diabetes is a complex disease and if you are interested, visit www.diabetesaustralia.com.au

    Do you have an old wedding dress and some wedding photos to go with it? If so, St James’ Church would like to hear from you.

If you have an old wedding gown and any of the accoutrements (e.g. veil, gloves) and would be happy to lend them for this event, or would like more details, please phone Pauline Cline on (03) 5253 2717.
