News from PRACE

Remember the wonderful community oven launch from last year, when Ima Forni donated a wood-fired oven to the Merrilands Community Centre, and Vasili from Channel 31 came along to film the event? People cooked bread in the oven, people danced and sang together, there was music and feasting. (Story back here.)

Well now’s your chance to see your friends and colleagues on television! Channel 31 screened the show this week, and it’s being repeated Wednesday 6th May at 7.30pm.

If you don’t get Channel 31 on your television, you can find the video on their website at c31.org.au. (Search for “Vasili’s Garden”, and watch the program from 3rd May 09. Could be there for the next 6 weeks.)

It’s a great show, full of interviews with many people in the community, and also featuring Don the amazing horticulture teacher with his students.

Watch and enjoy! Tell your friends.

Rita, Deb and Ozlem have worked their magic to produce not only a wood-fired oven for the community, but also a student-authored recipe book with stories about culture and food.

Friday the 28th of November was the big day, and Vasili came along to host and film the event for Vasili’s Garden on Channel 31.

This was truly an event to remember. Thanks to all who came along. Master of Ceremonies (MC) for the day was Gabby Fakhri. This was a free event, with lunch provided (Halal).

Some photos from the day (30 second video – click play).
