Italian Connection Trophy Community Rally Dinner May 21, 2010

Tickets for the Italian Connection Community Rally Dinner are now available for purchase from the Gundagai Post Office by calling (02) 6944 1046. The Dinner will be held at the Gundagai District Services Club in Sheridan Street and will commence at 7:30pm. Dress is smart casual.

Tickets are $35 per person and includes a two course meal and entertainment. Proceeds from the dinner go to the Duchenne Foundation to fund research for a cure and to support sufferers of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is the most common form of muscular dystrophy affecting 1 in 3,500 live born males in all races. It is caused by a mutation of a gene on the X chromosome, which provides the instruction for the production of the protein Dystrophin. This protein is located inside the muscle cell membrane. When it is absent the muscle cells collapse and die and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy develops.

For information on the Duchenne Foundation visit www.blueball.org.au and for information on the Italian Connection Touring Assembly visit www.italianconnection.com.au

Cr. Maslin Visits Beckom Public School.

Cr Bill Maslin today visited Beckom Public School to brief students standing for the SRC, on how to run a successful election campaign. Cr Maslin provided examples of posters, flyers and advertising material which was used in his election campaign for the September 2008 Local Government Elections.

Cr Maslin was also quizzed by students on aspects of the Gundagai Shire Council such as Parks and Gardens, Recycling, Swimming Pools and the Library. This was a great opportunity for the students to gain an understanding as to how every Shire is different.

Earlier in the year the Students spoke with Ms Armstrong, the Finance Manager for the Coolamon Shire Council. Cr Maslin got the impression that this is why the questions about the Gundagai Shire were very clever and sometimes difficult for the new Councillor to answer!
