Welcome to the Uki Village Web Site, Northern NSW, Australia
"Putting the Unity into Community". This little village, nestled at the base of Wollumbin (Mt Warning) is home to an ecclectic mob of friendly locals, willing to help anyone with anything at anytime.
The Mount Warning Hotel, Uki’s rustic watering hole was all geared up to have a fundraiser for a not-for-profit organisation when it fell through. Rod Harris, Treasurer for the Community Technology Centre, intimately aware of its struggles to pay the rent and a good buddy of the publican, was there at the right time and convinced him to carry on with the fundraiser and have it for the embattled CTC. It was to be a fancy dress affair cum karaoke, a combination that is guaranteed to make for a fun night. It sure was. Heart-warming to see such a bunch of lovely people come out to support us by having a good time. Here are some pics of those raising the fun.
Ukitopia has done it again: Given Uki that utopian shine, making it come out at its best.
Who ever heard of an ‘Honour Our Elders Day’! Yet it is an idea so apparent that it could well take the world by storm. Our dapper little village again spreading the word.
School children make our elders ‘honour badges’, while an abundant healing extravaganza pampers them with an array of massages, reiki, reflexology, flower essences, soul activation, vibrational healing, touches of love and more.
All through the day a variety of elders come on stage to tell us their stories while an ‘almost elder’ folk band entertains the market crowd.
As with last year’s Summer Celebration, many were touched by a feeling of togetherness which Ukitopia sure knows how to generate.
The winds of change have freshened up the look and feel of our Community Technology Centre. A set of sparkling new computers has been installed and staff has gone through a bit of a reshuffle. Rod has taken on the roll as Treasurer, Max is having fun as the Secretary and Ida is back aboard as Chairwoman extraordinaire. Carolyn, after a stint of teaching Art in Melbourne, has returned to help us with our troubles in Photoshop, Wendy teaches Computer Basics en Media Artiste Guido is there to help you sculpt your video footage and is on hand to cybernate your business, your art, dreams, whatever.
