Cormac and Eun Cho lived in Towrang briefly with Cormac's parents, Robert and Helena Bozzetto, and were thrilled to be able to be married in the community. The couple met in Melbourne and many friends made the journey to Towrang for the special day. Eun Cho's parents, The Rev Dr and Mrs Ryou, along with extended family, travelled from South Korea to be part of the celebration. Mrs Ryou and female family members looked splendid in the colourful Korean Hanbok, which is traditionally worn for celebrations and ceremonies. The bride wore a cultural fusion of white wedding dress with a Korean Jeogori (jacket) which was custom made by the groom's sister, Lexii.

Following the ceremony a reception was held at Towrang Village Hall.

A change of date for the June meeting of the Progress Group - now being held on Wednesday June 19 at 6.30pm at the Towrang Hall. All welcome to attend.

The weather is still being kind to us, so it is a great time to do some hazard reduction burning, getting rid of those windrows or fallen branches and leaves. Remember, you need to have your name on the burns list at the Yass Fire Control Centre (contact 6226 3100 during business hours). Before lighting up, notify your neighbours and send a text message to the duty phone (0438 298 271) with your name and address. Don't forget to check the weather conditions first - a good website for wind speed and time is www.wind.willyweather.com.au and then follow the links.
