'Lounge Around' update - Wishes in progress
11th May 2010
Lounge Around: Wishes from a travelling chair is under way in the community and has been travelling to various groups for the last four weeks.* So far we have collected over 150 wishes and are looking to at least double that amount. The wishes will then be installed in an exhibition in Mortlake around August.
Some places the chair has visited so far: Abbeyfield Mortlake; Senior Citizens; Probis; Mortlake College; St Coleman's Primary School; Terang College; Mount View Terang and currently the library and information centre in Mortlake. The chair will stay in Mortlake visiting groups until the end of May when it will then move to Port Fairy for a few days, including a day at the village green in Port Fairy on Saturday 12th June, during the long weekend market.
To view a short film documenting the progress of the project go to the video link below.
