SHOW WEEKEND WORKING BEE.
Another show weekend working bee was held in late October 2009. We worked on the property and in the garden and had lots of cups of tea! It's wonderful to see the property in such good hands with our current caretakers. Several building projects are still in the planning stage or need finishing off.

WINTER SOLSTICE CABARET CELEBRATION FUNDRAISER.
25 July 2005. This event was a great success. Everyone enjoyed the wide range of acts, and we were surprised at the diversity of talent among our Sangha members. We raised around $1500 for Dorje Ling.
Art and Curiosities Auction
This fun(d)raiser was held on Tuesday, 6 April at Weerona, North Hobart. It was opened by Zasep Tulku Rinpoche, and the auctioneer was Ian Laing. It turned out to be a very long evening, with many people turning up, and a lot of interesting and varied works of art and "curiosities" offered for sale. A good amount of money was raised for the Dorje Ling project.
