Thanks #2

Rotary
To the President and members of Rotary - Ros and Mal Alexander, Susie Lyons, Patsy Moore and Gordon Page thank you for your tireless efforts in relation to the Upwelling Festival Portland and this project and a big thanks for coming to make the hammock pieces on the workshop day. Susie thanks for keeping me informed and up to date and being fabulously organised. Gordon I really appreciate your physical support with the structure of the hammock.

Community Partnerships and big thanks.

Just been thinking about all the supportive people who have helped make the Sea Hammock for the Upwelling Festival Portland, 2011. Where to start.
Regional Arts Victoria - thank you  for the generous grant which has made this project possible.
Bob Stone - may you live long and prosper. Thanks for your engineering knowledge and attention to detail.
Jo Grant from Regional Arts Victoria - Thanks for the amazing professional support, making time to come and physically make the hammock pieces and much more.
Nikki Pevitt and Leslie Jackson from the Julia Street Creative Space - thank you for your sustained support of the project and all the efforts you have gone to to make the project a success.
Trevor Smith -  thanks for the generous material donations and the amazing arty Ab bag.
Therese Dolman - Thank you for the gorgeous screen-printed orange bags.
Rebecca Marriott and friends Sarah and Mara. How amazing to have you take part in this project. What fabulous works you all created.
Silvia Walker, Emma and Victor O'Brien - where would the hammock be without you. Who would teach me to tie knots and them tie them. The project was all sewn up because of your generous help.
Chris Thomas, Kara Young, Andrew Eade and the Reengagement Centre Crew - obviously this hammock could not be made without your enthusiasm, good humor, tireless efforts and limitless creativity.

Gordon Stokes - you star. Thanks for coming to the party with very little notice with the exciting plastic cubes made in 2004 under a project called 'Plastics Ahoy'.
Pat, Bernard and Bernice Bailey - thanks for the additional childcare, general running around, sewing and material sponsorships. Love you all.
