FINAL PLEA FROM SAVE THE LOFT
The future of The Loft now seems unpredictable… depends on how the Councillors vote this Thursday, June 25. This is our final chance to make a difference.
Come to the protest this Thursday June 25, gather from 5pm @ Civic Park. If you don’t wish to attend the protest, come to the Council meeting at 6.30pm (It was previously 4.45pm than 5.30pm meeting, but the time changed).
AND
Write these 3 Councillors heartfelt emails. Please don’t be rude or violent.
Cr Shayne Connell: shayne.connell@pacific.net.au
Mayor Cr John Tate: JTATE@ncc.nsw.gov.au
Cr Dr Graham Boyd: graham.boyd@pacific.net.au
Your help is needed and valued.

*cough* oh yea of course I've been practicing....I'm practically fluent now! Errr...i just get easily distracted ya know...so it might look like i've forgotten everything, but it's just because my mind is elsewhere, honest! *cough* lol. I still remember how to sign 'my name', that's a handy start lol, not sure about the rest. As for work Im still workin at the same ole, same ole, but im also making some extra money taking these surveys things online; you should give em a try; i mean, hey, the extra money comes in handy, right? i guess you'll have to type the link into internet explorer or whatever, but here it is:
