Central Victorian Community Web Site


 

 

This web site is brought to you by the Y Service Club of Bendigo as a community service:

The Y Service Club of Bendigo raises funds by selling X-Mas tress in December, selling second books at Easter, and various other projects. We also help to organise the Clean Up Australia Day in the City of Greater Bendigo.

Web Site Design Competition – the Y Service Club of Bendigo and the E-Commerce Association of Central Victoria run a competition that gets students creating web sites for community groups. Please see the competition web site for examples of past entries and rules for next rounds.
