Welcome aboard the Rushy Whroomer
For the past few years, Rushworth Community House has compiled and published the Rushy
Whroomer as an internal newsletter that was posted to RCH members, regional Neighbourhood
and Community Houses, and local schools and Community organisations.

Originally  conceived  by  former  Community  House Coordinator  Gillian  Schoenborn,  the  publication  was designed  to  let all of our staff and volunteers know who was who and what was what at the House.

It  was  also  designed  to  appraise  Community  House members  about  our  activities,  and  to report  on  major events throughout the year.

Previous editions of the Whroomer were printed at the Community House. However, the publication only reached a  relatively  small  audience,  and  many  of  the  district’s residents knew little about the House or its activities.

With so much now happening at Rushworth Community House, it was proposed that the frst Whroomer edition for 2009 should be printed as a supplement  to  the Waranga News,  and  thus distributed  to  a much wider  readership throughout Rushworth and surrounding areas.

The idea was approved, so here we are!

We  welcome  your  comments  and  suggestions  about the Rushy Whroomer, and will publish  the newsletter quarterly as a supplement  to  the Waranga News  if  the response  is favourable.

Meanwhile,  one  of  the Community  House  volunteers who assisted greatly with previous editions of the Rushy Whroomer recently left Rushworth to live in Far North Queensland.

“The  fact  that  a  cyclone struck Cairns  just  as Barry  and I  arrived  is  pure  coincidence”, Diane Bundy told us recently. We extend our thanks to Diane for a job well done, and wish her and Barry all the best.
