Clean-Up Australia Day in Monbulk My name is Sonja Leigh, I have recently started the Monbulk Sustainability Group. We are working with local groups, businesses and associa-tions to facilitate more community connections to help strengthen our local resilience. The Monbulk Sustainability Group is also creating aware-ness and working on projects to help sustain and regenerate our natural environment, focusing on; waste, local food (including bush foods), permaculture and much more. If we can help support any programs you have, such as Sustainable Schools, please let us know. I have included links below to a flyer for an upcoming event, 'Clean Up Monbulk Day', held on Sunday 4 March . Schools have a huge circle on influence in our community and I would be extremely grateful if you could include this flyer in your newsletter, social media page or notice board, to help us get the message out and support our cause. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Kind Regards, Sonja Leigh Monbulk Sustainability Group www.facebook.com/MonbulkSustainabilityGroup/ 0448 094 034
