1. Executive Committee Vacancy: Call for Expressions of Interest from Victorian Members
Due to commitments, it is with regret that Amy Chan has decided to tender her resignation from the Committee. This was after the election and leaves a vacancy on the Executive Committee.
The option available to the Executive Committee is to appoint another member for the remainder of that term, one year. As we now have only one member of the Committee from Victoria this leaves a gap in representation and we have decided to call for Expressions of Interest from Victorian members to fill the vacancy.
It is anticipated that a new Victorian Committee Member would take on the responsibility of Victorian Representative. If you are a Victorian member interested in joining the Executive Committee please submit a short Expression of Interest indicating your experience and indicating your interest in contributing to the Committee. This should be forwarded to the Secretariat austicomos@deakin.edu.au by Monday 5 December. If you have any queries about being on the Executive Committee please feel free to contact Jane Harrington, President on Mobile 0409 344 598, or any member of the Committee.

4. YOUR COMMUNITY HERITAGE GRANT APPLICATIONS OPEN
Applications are now open for the Your Community Heritage program, a Gillard Government initiative to support community heritage across Australia.
Your Community Heritage program is a new approach to protecting Australia’s heritage and recognises that heritage is not just about ‘big’ heritage such as places on the World and National Heritage Lists. It also concerns the heritage of individual communities – in regional Australia, small towns or in multicultural communities.
Communities can apply for grants to protect and conserve Australia’s nationally significant sites, repair local historic places impacted by natural disasters and to identify, research, preserve and share their local heritage stories.
Funding for heritage projects ranges from $2,500 to $500,000.
In addition, funding is available for the development of a national heritage community focussed website for communities to preserve and make their heritage stories accessible online. The Bringing Heritage Online initiative will enable historical and heritage organisations to link together via the web and share their heritage stories.
For further information for applicants and grant guidelines visit the Your Community Heritage website.
Applications close Tuesday 20 December 2011.

5. Streewtise Asia – Christmas Cards
Your Christmas card shopping this year can make a real difference by supporting the third heritage school project being undertaken by Streetwise Asia to upgrade a heritage school in Canayaon, Bohol, in the Philippines.
Streetwise Asia is committed to improving the educational facilities of poor children in Asia. School communities are transformed when facilities are improved. By purchasing a gift card (with hand crafted sketch of the Canayaon School on coloured card), you will be contributing to this Streetwise Asia 2012 project. Last Christmas over $3,000 was raised from the sale of cards which supported the 2011 school project. In 2012, Streetwise Asia is again assisting a very poor school with over 500 students who currently occupy a heritage timber school building, which is in very poor condition. In 2010 and 2011 together with AusAID we have completed two life changing school projects at the Kuguita School on Camiguin Island, and Tocdog School in Bohol both in the Philippines.
We will send you hand crafted Christmas cards corresponding to each gift. Your total purchase price will be a donation to the Streetwise Asia Fund, and is therefore Tax Deductible. All proceeds go to the project – there are no administrative costs taken out of the fund.
The Streetwise Asia Christmas card ORDER FORM 2011 can be used to select your cards. Each card contains a specific note about the project related to your gift. Cards will be posted within 72 hours of receipt of order. Your tax deductible receipt will be included with your Xmas cards.
The Streetwise Asia – Heritage School Restoration Projects in the Philippines shows how Streetwise Projects money has been effectively spent in the past.
Any queries, email Streetwise Asia Fund Coordinator Elizabeth Vines or call her on (08) 8362 6399 (work hours).
