Strathewen Commemoration Service 7th February 2010
TEMPORARY HOUSING
A Community Information Session on a Strathewen temporary housing option will be held on Wednesday 3 March 2010 at 7.30pm at the Strathewen Community Centre. The session is for Strathewen residents who lost their homes in the bushfires, who have decided to rebuild a home on their block, and would like to be able to return to live on their block while their home is being rebuilt, and are interested in knowing more about the temporary housing option. The session is designed to provide residents with information that they need in order to make a more informed decision about future housing arrangements, as well as providing the Community Association with an indication of the potential level of community interest in the scheme.

"Lest we forget" by Cam Tapp http://www.myspace.com/lestweforgetsong
'Lest We Forget' is the powerful and uplifting song inspired by the devastating Victorian bushfires of Black Saturday. Featuring students of the fire ravaged Primary Schools in Strathewen, Middle Kinglake and Marysville, this recording has been put together under extraordinary circumstances, delivering a very special message of hope and healing to resonate throughout the world.
