Thanks for all your feedback and enthusiasm over the website which went online last week! Finally, we are starting to get the new eNewsletter system and processes right after numerous trials and of course – errors! So thank you to the members who have been patiently waiting to receive the next edition.
This month we celebrate Diversional Therapy Week and I encourage members to send in photos of your activities and we will choose the best picture for a prize!
You may have noticed, we have announced Conference registrations open (link to conference) for our DTA Adelaide conference in September. DTA has already received lots of wonderful paper submissions for presenting at the conference.
Also a reminder to consider nominating yourself or a fellow DT for the Wendy Butler Award or for the DTA Excellence Award.
Other exciting things have being happening around the country :–
Tasmania’s Migrant Resource Centre celebrated 35 years (link to article) and;
There has been a Commonwealth Supplement for Community Services in WA announced in the media (link to article).
We also have some of our regular pieces this month such as Web Watch, Journal Watch, Corn Patch and a Book Review with Lauretta Kaldor.
We hope you enjoy May edition of Connections and please send any feedback to the DTA Office so that we can continue to allow our newsletter to evolve.
‘Til next month –
The Ed
