 News from Parish Council  Geoff Ryan—Community Development Manager of Victoria in the Dioceses of Ballarat for Anglicare, spoke to Parish Council members and representatives from our various committees about the work he does.  It was agreed to arrange for Geoff to come to our Parish next year to investigate what needs in the community we can be involved in.  Geoff works with local councils, schools, police and other groups to find where needs in communities are most needed.  He would then work with us to develop  a program.
