Council events should be distributed through a variety of mechanisms and obviously their availability electronically is one of those methods. I will pursue this through council so that a PDF version will be available for distribution. Thank you for raising this very valid point, I'll let you know when I hear further. Thanks, Alex Peter,

This makes it very disappointing that while this press release was published here and on the council's own web site that no-one thought to make the Maroondah Seniors Week program available as a PDF file downloadable online.
