This week Julie and I hosted a community development conference in Moama. The participants at the conference explored the assets in their various communities and "dreamed" about how they might build on those assets to improve their towns and villages.
People came from Rankins Springs, Jerilderie, Tocumwal, Finley, Corowa, Wagga Wagga, Molong, Ganmain, Hillston and Canowindra.
The realisation of those dreams is the challenge for all of us!
Highlights of the conference were guest presenter Stephen Webb a journalist working with the Uniting Church Synod Communication Unit. Stephen guided us through how to manage the media in our community life.
Professor Robert Ayson spoke to us after dinner. Robert's chosen topic was "Choices"and how the variety of choices we make, or do not make can influence our lives and who we are.
Our thanks go to those people who attended and participated wholeheartedly. We also wish to thank the Comfort Inn Resort at Moama for their fine hospitality.
