It's Adult Learners Week and you are invited! Beer included!

On todays (30th August, 10am, PBAFM 89.7fm) Community Matters radio show we have Alison Davies from Burton and Morella Community Centres, as well as Annie Payne from The Mawson Centre.

This week we have a look at the Adult Learners Week events schedule for City of Salisbury as well as the numerous programs happening within it!

Annie Payne said "The South Australian 2010 Adult Learner's Week (1-8 September) is an opportunity to recognise, promote and advance all forms of adult and community learning.
We have many discussions about the programs such as Basic Internet Searching, U Brew IT (make your own beer!), Broadband for Seniors, Business Women's Network, and much much more".

One of the more innovative programs this year includes a session on brewing your own beer together with local business 'U Brew It'. Tastings included! Places are very limited.

With so much to see and do, you are never to old to learn something new.

So tune in to see what you can be a part of, as well as listen to some excellent music!

Community Matters Radio is a show produced by the Youth and Neighbourhood Sevices Division of the City of Salisbury.

Monday 16th August at 10am, Community Matters profiles programs running across the community centres

Sanna, Kathryn and Jan make up the Community Matters team this week discussing the programs running right across the Youth and Neighborhood Services Team in our community centers.

Jan, as the chairperson of Bagster Road Community Centre Inc, brings an unique perspective to the discussion.

Many listeners may know that six of our community centers are run by not for profit incorporated associations where the board is drawn from the community. These centers operate from council owned buildings with the support of council funded staff members. Only Twelve25 Salisbury Youth Enterprise Centre and The Mawson Centre have a different governance model.

Tune in at 10am on Monday 16th August, PBA FM 89.7 fm or worldwide on the internet at www.pbafm.org.au

More information call City of Salisbury on 84068222 and ask to be put through to your nearest community centre.
