Charity
Golf Day
Friday
May 28, 2010
Parkinson's
Victoria is pleased to announce that Spring Valley Golf
Club in Heatherton will again generously support our work
through its annual Charity Golf Day.
This
event has already raised more than $17,000 which has helped
us to deliver important information and support to people
living with Parkinson's, carers, family members and the
wider community.
In
addition to the significant donation, we also have the opportunity
to raise awareness about Parkinson's, a highlight of which
will be when one of our Ambassadors share their personal
story over lunch.

Quality
of Service Survey - Taxi Passengers with Disabilities
The
Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission
is undertaking research into the experiences of people with
disability using taxi services in Victoria.
The
survey examines a range of issues relating to the quality
of taxi services. It is a follow up to a similar survey
conducted in 2006 which informed the Commissioner's report
'Time to Respond'. This report made recommendations to government
and the taxi industry about how to improve taxi services.
This
survey aims to find out if the situation is getting better
or worse for people 3 years on. People with a disability
are asked to complete the survey sharing experiences of
using taxis in the past 6 months.
The
closing date for the survey is Friday 26th February

Harley
Gale's latest exhibition Phoenix Rising follows
on from his 1972 exhibitions A Sail in Time and Space and The Garden of Earthly Delights . Gale
uses colourfield, action painting and the happy accident
to illustrate the Chinese belief that ' the universe
is in my heart and the heart is in my universe' .
Gale
commenced tertiary studies in medicine, but he soon tired
of that art and switched to painting and a life long love
of Chinese Art. Another career change led to 25 years as
an acupuncturist. Most recently the development of Parkinson's
disease has led Gale back to his old love of painting. He
lives, works and plays in God's own country Goonengerry,
Northern NSW .
