Liberty Swing, Newman Park Traralgon |
Do you have a key for the Liberty Swing in Newman Park Traralgon?Newman Park, located on Peterkin St in Traralgon boasts an ‘access for all’ type playground which includes a railway station and platform, a maze decorated by local schools, a teenage exercise/adventure area, an adventure castle, new BBQ facilities, new toilet facilities incorporating disability access and a Liberty Swing financed by the Variety Club some years ago.There was a lot of hype and publicity when the Liberty Swing was first installed which saw a great demand for its use. We want to remind the community of this valuable equipment and encourage its use to ensure the need continues to be identified in the future for the establishment of accessible facilities such as this. The Liberty swing is accessible by a key that can be lent from the Traralgon Service Centre from Monday to Friday between the hours of 8.30am and 5.15pm. The key can be collected on a Friday evening and returned Monday morning if weekend use is required. The Traralgon Service Centre can be contacted on 1300 367 700.A number of keys were distributed to local residents when the Liberty swing was first established for more convenient and frequent access. If you have, or know of someone who has a key that is no longer required, we would appreciate that you return it so that it can be redistributed to another family. If you feel you would benefit from having a key for the Liberty swing, please register your interest. All correspondence should be made to Laura Jenkins, Rural Access Project Officer at Latrobe City Council by emailing laura.jenkins@latrobe.vic.gov.au

“Wear something blue for 15q” |
International Prader Willi Syndrome Organisation (IPWSO) news flash Greetings to you all! Our very special date is just around the corner—15.11.13—15th November, 2013. What makes this date so special? The line-up of numbers are exactly the same as the deletion on chromosome 15 that makes not only Prader-Willi Syndrome what it is, but also is the marker for Angelman’s Syndrome, and Duplicate 15q syndrome. These three syndromes are pinpointed by this line-up of numbers which, coincidently, become the date, 15.11.13. We want you to wear blue, to do something memorable to publicise our special date so that people will become more aware of PWS. “Wear something blue for 15q” To all our PW Associations, to our Parent, Scientific, and Caregiver Delegates: Please publicise awareness of this one-in-a-hundred-year date by posting on Facebook, Tweeting around the world, making people aware that we exist! All the information you need, you will find on our webpage www.ipwso.org along with two amazing diagrams showing the similarities among our sister syndromes. Use this information in your newsletters, your email groups, your Facebook pages, and let’s see if we can raise the profile of 15q around the world! You may also use these logos. With very best regards to you all, President and Board of IPWSO
