Cruden Farm Spring Family Fun Day |
|
More volunteers are still required to assist with the Society's joint fund raising activity at Dame Elisabeth Murdoch's Cruden Farm at Langwarrin on 25th October, 2009. One of the activities allocated to the RSV is keeping the car parking process orderly. Do you know anyone who might like to help out? The event goes from 8.30am to 4pm on Sunday 25th October and each volunteer will do a couple of 2 hour shifts with time in between to enjoy the event. Contact the RSV office if you would like to volunteer. |

Refurbishment of the Building |
|
With the external refurbishment of the building the Royal Society is certainly being noticed. It has resulted in several new groups booking rooms in the building for functions and a recent visit from Tourism Victoria. Heritage Victoria have kept an eye on the work. The work is proceeding well and expected to be largely finished in the next month. |
