This Award was arranged by Bendigo Bank Caulfield Park and MP David Southwick.  Recipients were chosen by groups that they volunteer for and Rotary Club of Caulfield chose Gillian Schofield, artist as our nominee.

Gillian has always been around if we needed anything done, Photo boards for markets and festivals, anything in the art field, helping with BBQ's and helping out in many different ways.  We congratulate Gillian on receiving the award.

Our club was represented at the Open Day of Classic Residence in Brighton.

Our aim was to make people aware of the Honey Bee and to assist it in any way possible - such as having water with stepping stones for the bees to land on.

We had a lot of honey to let people sample and some bee products for sale

A light lunch was served and then dancing began.

This wonderful Art Garden project was destroyed by the wind late last year.  

Today we managed to put all the tiles of artwork back on the new fence, after it had been painted blue.

 Lots for you to see.

Preparing for Cityscape, some photos taken to get the feel of the area.

After 8 1/2 months of working at least weekly, sometimes more often this Art Project was opened.

There were a lot of people present, invited guests, friends, Artists, Rotarians and many interested in this community.

What started as a small project became a much larger one.  The fence on the back left of the Koonang Uniting Church was beautifully decorated with tiles, all painted by members of the community, residents in nursing homes in the area, schools, Yoralla members, artists, Rotarians, and people who dropped into the Thursday pancake sessions.

Five Totem Poles were erected.  The poles being decorated on the Thursday morning open sessions, and the heads being made by a group of artists who helped Anthony Breslin bring his dream to reality.  These were placed among the community garden plots.  At the base of each totem pole is a seat, also decorated on the Thursday mornings.

The back wall of the Church building and part of its side wall were also decorated by work of the artists and Anthony Breslin.

It was a pleasure to behold.

The completed tiles were all collected and ready to install onto the fence and wall at the back of the Venue.

Such excitement in the air as the artists assembled got ready to add the first tile.

The art work by local groups is just so colourful and wonderful to see.

After a very concentrated effort by those present the tiles made it to their resting place for all to see.
