The Smile Event June 5 2006 9am - 5pm Moona Moona Creek Reserve

Smiling Community Project
A See Change Winter Arts Festival

In conjunction with World Environment Day (5th June) and World Ocean Day (8th June), A day of creative celebration guaranteed to bring a big smile to Jervis Bay.

World Environment Day celebrates our environment and the people around the world who care for it. Many of the great natural and cultural treasures we enjoy today would not exist without the dedication of ordinary people who have joined together.

Jervis Bay inspires many with its outstanding beauty and individual village communities. It is with such passionate care and pride in our area that the See Change Winter Arts Festival was conceived and has since been nurtured. The Smile Event will use inspiring thoughts and images from members of the community along with sculpture, workshops, and activities.

 

World Environment Day First celebrated 1970 June 5, 2006 All arround the World Saveing our local area or fighting for global change, we have in common a passion for the future. With that passion in mind we seek to present solutions. We are united as the voice of the millions of Australians who care about the future of the planet and its people. We speak for those that cannot speak - the oceans and atmosphere, for the land, plants and animals, and for future generations. We will not be silenced. Environment groups take pride in our record of bringing environmental truths to light. Where unjust and short-sighted laws block the way, we stand up to decision-makers. Those in power have shown they must regularly be reminded that a healthy environment is essential to a healthy economy and society. The environment still faces new threats, some that could undo what we have already achieved. Especially climate change, which will affect almost every aspect of our natural environment and economy. This World Environment Day, more than ever, the earth needs a voice and environment groups need your support.

Screening of "Wal-Mart" MOVIE FUNDRAISER December 05 Tomerong Hall

Fundraiser at Tomerong Hall for Jervis Bay Regional Alliance, protector and enhancer of the environmental, social and cultural values of the Bay & Basin region.
This film takes you behind the glitz and into the real lives of workers and their families, business owners and their communities, in an extraordinary journey that will challenge the way you think, feel... and shop.

The film takes the viewer on a deeply personal journey into the every day lives of families struggling to fight against a goliath. From a small business owner in the Missouri to a preacher in California, from workers in Florida to a poet in Mexico, dozens of film crews on three continents bring the story of an assault of families and American values. Current and former employees, managers and executives will tell all about the corporation’s inner-workings. Wal-Mart is based on individual human beings, all over the world, at all levels of society, telling their story in very personal terms.

This is appropriate for all to see. It relates well to what's happening with large stores here and all over the world
