Dear Friends of Merri Creek member or supporter,
Below are some events that you may be interested in. None of these events are listed in the Friends of Merri Creek newsletter Merri Growler, for either the previous edition (February) or the next one (May), so this email is likely to be the only way that you’ll know about them.
By the way, if you receive the Merri Growler, please note that the May edition is likely to be a little late.
