Our crowd funding project with Pozible.com to raise money from the community to repair the VRI Hall roof has been successful. Over 70 people contributed to the fund and one major 'angel supporter' rescued the project toward the finish. This person wants to remain anonymous and as that was a condition of the pledge, we will be protecting that individual's identity.
We now begin our new projects. First order of the day is to finalise and sign off on the lease with the VRI. We expect work will start on the community garden as soon as that has been completed. The Traralgon College Hands on Learning students are ready to go and last term we received a grant from Latrobe City to support the garden and pizza oven that will go toward getting our garden flourishing.
The Digital Shed students will continue to operate from Traralgon Neighbourhood Learning House on Fridays and Saturday mornings until we have the roof repairs finished and communications set up at the hall.
We intend to have an open day for our garden on the 29th October so more information will be forthcoming about that day.
This is an exciting time for us and we look to our community to continue the support through participation. If you would like to be involved in the Latrobe Valley Community Shed and Digital Shed, please contact us. There are opportunities to build this resource together. We are truly grateful for the affirmation that our crowd funding project has given us.
