Congress will be at the Anthelk-Ewlpaye (Charles Creek) Community Centre tomorrow to give free diphtheria vaccines. A nurse will be there from 10am to 1pm to help keep our community safe.

This vaccine has been safely used for many years and is part of childhood immunisations. Now, adults should get a booster every 5 years to stay protected.

Not sure if you need a booster? The nurse can check your records for you.

If you have a sore throat or skin sores, you might have diphtheria.

The diphtheria vaccine is safe and has been used for many years. Little ones get it as part of their childhood immunisations, and most adults have had it too.

Adults now need a booster every 5 years to stay protected.

Vaccinations help keep you and your family healthy. Ask at Congress when your next vaccination is due.

We recently held our first council meeting of the year at Woolanger (Gem Tree).

The council discussed:
• upgrades to homelands
• regular housing maintenance
• designing homes for a heating planet
• community control of remote health clinics
• changes to the remote rent system
• advocating for an increase to the Remote Area Allowance to help remote families with the cost of living
• the new national first nations representative body
• the federal government's inquiry into racism
• nominations for new Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority board members
• attacks on paramedics and other safety concerns in Mparntwe (Alice Springs)
• the upcoming census

The meeting was cut short by the tragic news of the loss of Kumanjayi Little Baby. We offer our sincerest condolences to the Granites, Rockman and White families.

To anyone struggling at the moment, please call 13 YARN (13 92 76) for support.

CLC chair Warren Williams shared some words for his granddaughter, Kumanjayi Little Baby.

“She was a little light in all our lives.
As we have this sunset vigil,
as we mourn this precious child,
we watch the sun go down,
we mourn the light that she brought.
We can still feel the warmth of her light.
And we must hold onto that.”
