OOFRAS Events

The coordination team recently had its first "OT nerdfest". . .what's that you ask? Just imagine the awesome foursome, no official OOFRAS business, a lounge room, professional development, shared discussion and learning, laughing, dreaming, scheming, continuous nibbles and a bottle of wine!

Other than deciding we needed regular "OT nerdfests", we resolved to have an end of year OOFRAS shin-dig. . .so watch this space!!!

Last year we had a massive gig - "Beyond the Night" which was an amazing success in generosity and community spirit that resulted in OOFRAS being able to sponsor an OT from a developing economy who works with refugees to the World OT Congress. Our next gig will invest in a local initiative... Beyond the Night 2008, here we come!!

We will also be looking for a handful of OTs and students to partner with us in the gig by forming a Queensland group. . . more news soon!

In the mean time we suggest you get your live music fix by attending the "Rock for Refugees 2007" gig at The Zoo (Fortitude Valley) on Friday October 19 2007. Come and support the Refugee Claimants Centre (Windsor) and the local artists who have given their time and talent to support this initiative! Check out the website - www.rockforrefugees.com. Some of the local artists include:

• The Incredible Strand
• Glasshouse
• My Fiction
• The Reversals
• Sue58
• Plus: Belly dancers & visuals by mindygirl
