With regards to a letter published 7/6/11 by Mr C Degenhardt captioned “Dot MIA for World Environment Day” I wish to advise you and your readers, of the following:
I started WED by attending JEBH to assist members of the community clean up that area. I did this with the Mayor. I then attended WED activities in Murwillumbah.
This is verifiable by people that I spoke to and two Councillors also present at the time I was there.
My husband and I spent an enjoyable time talking with residents collecting information as handouts etc, including Koala information.
I did respond to the official invitation as sent by Council. The official invitation being sent to all Councillors after the Caldera Environmental Centre sent their invitation to the organisational side of Council on May 17, 2011.
I believe this letter clarifies Mr Degenhardt’s mis-information to the wider community.
Cr Dot Holdom
