Yarra Valley ECOSS is celebrating the official opening of The Coop with an Autumn Harvest Family Bush Dance and Soiree on Friday, 12 May.
The former chook sheds on the property have been transformed into a spacious and functional community space renamed The Coop.
Built by volunteers and funded by a grant from the Hugh Williamson Foundation, The Coop will be a multi-purpose space available for hire to community groups and organisations for use as a classroom, dance or yoga studio workshop or meeting space.
The official opening ceremony will take place at 5pm and will include a guided tour of the ECOSS site and presentations from staff and students that will celebrate the many achievements of the organisation.
The ceremony will be followed by a rollicking Autumn harvest Family Bush Dance with the wonderful bush dance band Bushwahzee at 7pm.
An Autumnal-theme dinner, Tonantzin hot chocolate and sweet treats will be available for sale.
Tickets are $10 per person or $20 per family.
Yarra Valley ECOSS is at 711 Old Warburton Road, Wesburn. For more information phone 5967 2416.
