She is just 15 years old, a scout, and is asking for some community help.<\/p>\n
Jess Jones is a Venturer with 1st Ballan Scouts, and is putting together a Time Capsule to coincide with the grand opening of the new Scout Hall in early June.<\/p>\n
Ms Jones said she wants to get everyone involved with putting items into the capsule.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe opening of the new hall is the perfect day to have items put into the capsule then, in 50-years from when it was sealed, we plan to open it on 4 June 2073,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am looking to have a variety of items for the capsule and call on the community to help out if they can.\u201d<\/p>\n
The teenager has some ideas of items for the community to donate, which include: <\/p>\n
– Handwritten letters and personal messages and drawings.
\n– Documents containing information about Ballan and its history.
\n– Favourite recipes or packaging
\n– Prices of things your business provides and\/or cost of attending activities and\/or services.
\n– Menus.
\n– Writing about what the world is like at the moment.
\n– A letter to your future self.
\n– Photos of the community.
\n– Business cards. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe will be limited on space so please keep items to a reasonable size,\u201d Ms Jones said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI really just hope everyone gets involved in this community event and has some fun along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n
The official opening of the Scout Hall at 60 Inglis St Ballan, will take place on Sunday 4 June from 11am. A public BBQ will be held at 12 noon, with the formalities to take place at 1pm.<\/p>\n
For further information about how or where to donate an item, please email 1stballanscouts@gmail.com or contact Russell on 0429 701 261 or Tony on 0439 686 768.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
