Dear Sam............... fundraising event



When: 3rd December, 2009
Where: South Bendigo Bowling Club, Palmerston St, Bendigo
How much: $30 (entry per person in 'Scratchie Christmas Tree' draw for bookings of 5 or more)
Bookings: contact Linda on 0409 940 184

Sam is an imaginary 6 year old child living in 2040. Sam is living in the world that has been highly influenced by the way we lead our lives in 2009. This event will prompt awareness of our legacy and through the example of Linda Beilharz’s next trek - to the North Pole - encourage us to take steps to commit to change. The event raises funds for the North Pole trip and engages the public in imagining Sam's world and increasing our investment in a safe future.

You will be contributing to National history - the first Australian woman to undertake such an arduous journey to the North Pole. (and first to South and North Poles - a super feat for Bendigo)

You will also be helping Bendigo get mobilised in moving to a Beyond Carbon future. Visioning is one of the first steps alongside auditing, development of new economies and altering our lifestyles in positive ways. These steps need people to be connected to the reason for change and ideas about what changes can happen. This event will help to changes hearts as well as minds.
