Seniors Week at the Library

Today we celebrated Seniors week with over eighty seasoned citizens turning out to watch the Sing Australia Choir regale them with classic tunes such as "We are Australian", "Blue Moon" and "Two Little Boys". The choir showed off their skills with a fine montage of "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" and "Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit-Bag". 
Accompanying Sing Australia was the Lake Wyangan Public School Choir for their debut performance. The promising young vocal talent brought to life many good time tunes with special exuberance for the golden oldie "Lollipop".
Local poet Lance Parker followed up with a humorous and most entertaining original take on two classic fairytales; 'Little Red Riding Hood" and "Three Little Pigs".
 
Over 100 spectators turned out to enjoy the Seniors Week show.

Hi everyone,
This is my first blog for the year so I thought I'd start with a real winner.  The book is written by an Australian woman named Amanda Webster and the topic is anorexia.  Amanda's son Riche developed anorexia when he was 11 years old.  The story tells of Amanda's agonising journey to save Riche's life as well as being a mother to two other children and a wife to her husband Kevin. 

The anorexia consumed Riche so much that he believed that he could gain calories by touching people, by them floating through the air, or by him being in the vacinity of food.  The book also focuses on the treatment of anorexia and the lack of understand from the medical establishment. 

This book is a must for anyone who loves an emotional read.  Don't expect to have dry eyes at the end.  SDV
