Volunteers’ News

This month’s column is also an opportunity to thank our online assistants, Cate Long and Chelsea Wallis. Cate and Chelsea have been working on SSH archives – uploading stories and photos from past issues. The website is becoming a wonderful resource for local news and history. As well as work on the archives, Chelsea and Cate have maintained the SSH website the past two months while our Online Editor Esther Butcher has been in Bangalore, India. We are so grateful to you both!

And, of course, we are very happy to welcome Esther home again!

To all our writers and photographers, a big thank you! There are some really exciting story ideas for September – with a federal election now set for September 7 – so please contact Lyn if you haven’t seen a Story List: lyn@turnbulls.au.com. We’d also be keen to hear your story ideas – or reviews, opinion pieces, columns, sports reports, etc.

To all our distributors, a big thank you, too! Especially for delivering bundles during the colder months. Thanks to Jane and the team at South East Sydney Community Transport for making papers available to passengers on the Village2Village buses each Thursday and Friday.
