THANKS DAD PHOTOVOICE COMPETITION

It is time again for the “Thanks Dad PhotoVoice Competition”. The competition aims to increase the profile of fathers and father figures in the community.

In previous years the competition has been enormously successful with many photos being entered that capture the special moments between a child and male role model.

The competition is coordinated by the  Ellenbbrook Early Years Working Group to highlight the positive impact fathers and father figures including stepfathers, grandfathers, uncles and sports coaches have on children.

Registration and entries for the competition will be open from Friday the 1^st July 2010. All entries should be in by Friday the 19^th August 2010. Entry in the competition is free and there are fabulous prizes up for grabs.

Photos along with a description of 25 words or less can be submitted at The Ellenbrook Community Library. Entry forms are also available from the library.

Good Luck!!!

Open Day – Saturday 3rd July 2010 @ 341 Haddrill Road, Baskerville.

“As you may or not be aware, Radio Ellenbrook 88fm is “Fighting for It’s Survival”

The letter below from their Secretary briefly explains their predicament

So please complete the appropriate letter attached (individual or business) and email it to

radioellenbrook88@bigpond,com

as soon as posible so they can add your support to their application.

“Dear Friends and Supporters of Radio Ellenbrook 88fm.

We are now immediately embarking on the next phase of our campaign whereby Ellenbrook Community Radio Inc is submitting an application for a Temporary Community Broadcasting Licence (TCBL).

Up until now Radio Ellenbrook 88fm, in conjunction with Western Tourist Radio, has been providing a narrowcast service for over 3 years in a 10km radius from its station at 4/60 Coolamon Blvd, Ellenbrook.

If our application for a TCBL is successful, it would mean that our new signal would enable us to add the entire Swan Valley, Chittering Valley, Bullsbrook, Gingin, Midland and others to our existing listening audience. In time, we would obtain a permanent Community Broadcasting Licence.

We are appealing to existing and future sponsors, supporters and friends in all the above areas to assist us by writing letters to the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) in support of our application so that there will be a community radio station serving the large area of north-east Metro Perth that does not have community radio.

When you have completed your letter, please email it to the station on radioellenbrook88@bigpond.com as soon as possible for inclusion in our detailed application.

Yours sincerely

Anne Green

Secretary
