2010 LMCLP Graduation Evening
Friday 12 November 2010 at Big Hill Winery
 The
2010 LMCLP program year finished in style with a lovely evening at the Big
Hill Vineyard just south of Bendigo on Friday 12 November.
More than 80
people including participants, family and friends, CLLM sponsors and
supporters, and LMCLP graduates attended the evening which was coordinated
by the participants themselves who did an outstanding job.
Linda
Beilharz A feature of the evening was guest speaker Linda Beilharz, the
first Australian woman to trek to the North Pole. Linda’s story of setting
a goal and then taking small steps - and celebrating each of these along
the way – resonated with many in the room, although there didn’t seem to
be many who wanted to follow in Linda’s footsteps after hearing about her
experiences of trekking in some very trying conditions in some very trying
terrain!
Linda spoke
about “not all who wander are lost” and explained that to wander is to
take on a challenge that most don’t, to step outside the normal path and
follow a hunch or a passion, to push yourself to achieve your goal,
confront things that make you scared, and to trust your own strength. She
finished by saying “For me wandering - following my heart, taking
opportunities after having done the preparation – has led me to one of the
most fulfilling experiences.”
2010 Year Book Launched
The
Graduation evening was also an opportunity to launch the 2010 LMCLP Year
Book, proudly sponsored by mecu Limited, and to congratulate the
hardworking sub-committee of participants who gathered the information and
turned this into a record of the year that will not only enable the
participants to fondly remember their journey, but for all of us to see
once again the amazing outcomes Community Leadership Loddon Murray and the
Loddon Murray Community eadership Program continue to achieve across
Central and north-west Victoria.
