Pony Club AGM
12.30pm Saturday 7th February 2009 Pony Club Shed at
the Rec Area
with a Sausage Sizzle All welcome—please come along to help keep the club
going in 2009
Schools back but without long term local at the wheel Well it’s back to school time so please ensure you obey the traffic signs and slow down in school zones. Help keep our children safe in the community by slowing down around the school area in the allotted time zones. As the pupils of the Tarago School will be settling in it is with sad tidings that we say goodbye to Mrs Debbie Chinnery as the school bus driver for the Village to Taylors Creek Road bus route having been the driver of this route for the past 14 years. Debbie has been studying in the Health Industry and has decided to hang up her bus driving licence to seek other challenges. We wish her great success in her new career.

Since February 2006 the Progress Association has been arranging and chairing ‘All Committees’ meetings ap-proximately every two months. Representatives of the following community groups have attended these meetings: Sporting Association Country Womens’ Association Show Society Pony Club Rural Fire Service School P& C Hall Committee Progress Association
The most recent meeting was conducted on Monday 8th December 2008.
During 2008 the Progress Association has been engaged in several matters including: !" Written submission to the Goulburn Mulwaree

!" Several of our proposals were supported by coun-cil including:
changing the village boundary so that the two separate parts of the village are linked; and changing the zoning of land west of the railway station from the current zoning of “Industrial” to “RU5 Village” with a minimum lot size for this area set at 1 hectare.
!" Village Plantings and Beautification !" ANZAC Day Organisation and Memorial Manage-
ment !" Representation on Goulburn Mulwaree Water
Management Reference Group
Future activities proposed include: !" Project to install solar panels on public buildings
around Tarago !" Next stages of village beautification including
new avenues of trees and a suggestion for planter boxes on Wallace Street.
!" Discussions with council about water and sewer-age management
The next Progress Association meeting will be held at the Tarago Hall at 7:30pm, Mon 2nd February 2009. Fu-ture activities will be discussed along with endorse-ment of the date for the AGM (proposed for Monday the 2nd of March 2009). We encourage all members of the community to attend the upcoming AGM. With the representation and par-ticipation of all community groups and individuals, es-pecially from village residents, the Progress Association will be able to ensure the preferred path of any village development.

BEWARE OF PAPER IN THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE – New Way to do Car Jacking You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into Re-verse. When you look into the rear view mirror to back out of your parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you shift into Park, unlock your doors, and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your car, that is when the car jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically mow you down as they speed off in your car. And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car. So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now compromised! BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.... If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back win-dow, just drive away. Remove the paper later. A purse contains all kinds of personal information and identification documents, and you certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.
PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT GROUP
