Homeless/ Housing

Meeting tomorrow Wednesday March 12th at 5:30 for an hour at the Bega Uniting Church, Cnr Carp and Upper Street Bega. 
Meeting in the rear large room entrance via the Eastern side of the complex adjacent to three of our very successful crisis transitional units.

All most welcome !

I think we can gather to look at what we are doing and plan a direction for our housing homelessness advocacy around the crisis in the Valley . 
I would also like to send a message to council supporting the LAP as presented by Simon Daly, draft by Roz Hansen, and to be investigated by council and the AHIG.

Love input and positive energy.

Cheers

Sapphire Coast Historical Vehicle Club (SCHVC) OPEN DAY  (see flier here)
Sunday 16 March from 11am 3pm
15 Greigs Flat Road, Greigs Flat

The Social Justice Advocates of the Sapphire Coast (SJASC) in collaboration with the Sapphire Coast Historical Vehicle Club (SCHVC) plan to build a Pilot Community Solar Garden and Energy Storage System on the club s grounds. This project will feature advanced solar generation, coupled with ground-breaking energy storage technology. The stored energy will be strategically sold-off during optimal times, providing our Bega Valley community with an annual estimate of $75,000.00 to be used to benefit those facing economic challenges. Please join us to learn more about this exciting, local, community initiative. You will also have the opportunity to view the vehicle club s immaculately restored vehicles. Our Solar Project Team will be on site at the SJASC Marquee for any Questions. All are welcome. We appreciate your support.
