Last night I visited the West Pymble Venturers where the theme was ‘Mayor for a Night’ and ‘Venturer for a Night’.
The Venturers started by asking questions about what could be done at Council and why. Can we hold more concerts at Bicentennial Park? Install more bubblers? Remove Speed Humps on Livingstone? Create more pedestrian crossings? We also talked about the Youth Advisory Committee with applications closing 13th September. I said that even if they don?t get included in the committee, they should stay on the mailing list as there may be opportunities for youth to participate in local projects.
Then we switched over to Venturer topics. We practiced lighting fires with flint, tied some knots, and played a ‘stick game’.
I was glad to visit the Venturers and encouraged them to continue thinking about community service. It?s probably my last visit as Mayor but I said they are still welcome to reach out in future if they needed anything.
