January Newsletter (of sorts...)

Oh HI!
Welcome to 2011 - Reuse Style.

Sorry you guys have had to do most of the visiting/talking in our relationship of late, we've been caught up in making site improvements, a little spring cleaning and a little re-organisation.
We promise to get back on the proper communication track ASAP, we've just got a few ends to tidy up first, so in the interim, please accept this as our Newsletter for January 2010.

Our fearless chairman is still working hard on improving our timber workshop for future use, with lots of help from staff and volunteers - Thankyou for all your support!

Today we caught up with Rhonda from Flood Light - she and her cohorts have also been super busy organising a Flood Relief Benefit Night to aid and support our friends in Queensland. We've donated a $100 voucher to their prize stash for the big night, to support them in supporting Queensland's recovery from this terrible natural disaster.


All the talk of extreme weather has Claire doing some reading on climate change in the Eco-Library.
Some very accessable books we have in the Eco-Library include:

  • "The no-nonsense guide to climate change" by Dinyar Godrej
  • "2 Degrees too high: understanding the Copenhagen Conference"  by Yann Arthus-Bertrand
  • "Before the deluge: coping with floods in a changing climate"  by the International Rivers Network

Of course these are just a few titles in our collection of Eco-minded titles.
Don't forget to take a closer look upstairs next time you drop by.



And finally a quick note that we will be closed next Wednesday 26th January as we're all off to celebrate Australia Day in our various ways.

Stop by before then to pick up extra preloved goodness to help you celebrate Australia Day too - think chairs, barbecues in need of a little TLC, umbrellas, sporting equipment, picnic paraphenalia and much much more.


See you soon!
-The Bower Team
