RECONNECT and REFLECT thru MUSIC Project (RRTM) The Reconnect and Reflect through music activities came to a fitting crescendo on Saturday 24th September at the Yarra Glen Racing Club, Yarraview Room. It was an ealy start to the day for all participants with rehearsals and sound checks and then a sumptuous lunch was provided by Healesville Salvation Army for 80 people (Big Thanks to the lunch army). The day was something of a huge picnic, social extravaganza and musically filled adventure for all ages. Thanks must go to John and Moya for their patience, direction and encouragement with all our community singers and spokes people. The day went off swimmingly with all 11 new songs (written at our Reconnect activity groups) premiered before an adoring audience. Congratulations to all our Reconnect participants and supporters and Onwards and Upwards!
