All hail to the Volcanoes Centre volunteers! The commitment and enthusiasm of the Volcanoes Discovery Centre volunteers was recognised at a morning tea on Monday 8 June 2009. The occasion was an opportunity to thank the band of local volunteers for their work in manning the Centre over 2009, and to celebrate the achievement of securing a grant for the refurbishment of the Centre (see story dated 31 May 2009). In addition to a welcome morning tea on a cold day, the volunteers were apprised of the work planned to be undertaken to alter and refurbish the Centre. Major changes include the side entrance to be replaced with the originally envisaged front entrance from the street, including streetscape improvement and signage, and the enlargement of the education centre to be able to accommodate larger school groups. Work is scheduled to commence shortly and be completed by Christmas 2009. Pictured below are volunteers enjoying the celebrations.
