Does Churchill Island hold a special place in your heart? Do you think you could write 150 words about that? Cape Woolamai resident Laura Brearley is a wonderful singer-songwriter (among many other things!) and has led our local community in many events. Now, she and a group of other amazing individuals have initiated the "Coastal Connections" project, funded by Bass Coast Shire's Business and Community Resilience Grants Program COVID-19. Laura and her group are asking us to write about our special place in 150 words and send it to her. You can read about the project and how you can participate here: www.basscoastpost.com/laura-brearley/places-in-the-heart
A great thing to do to cheer us all up during Covid! ... See MoreSee Less

Do you have a special place in Bass Coast? Write 150 words about the place you love and it could feature in a series of short films celebrating our natural landscape.

FOCIS needs a SECRETARY! Did you know that FOCIS has been an integral part of our beautiful little island for 40 years this year! We have a great little committee but our secretary of many years, Christine Grayden is unwell and not able to continue in the role. Just like all incorporated groups we cannot legally operate without a secretary. We usually hold 4 committee and 4 general meetings per year, and the workload is not onerous. You just need to be a member with basic computer skills. The committee includes a membership secretary and treasurer so the secretary does not have to do any of those jobs. If you or someone you know may be able to fill this important role, please contact Christine for more information: secretary@focis.org.au ... See MoreSee Less
