The Festival of Glass
has increased its profile in Portarlington in recent weeks.
The Festival’s Treasure Hunt was pleased to welcome several
Portarlington businesses, which are promoting the Festival enthusiastically to
Treasure Hunters who pay them a visit. (Go to the Festival web site to discover
which local businesses are Treasure Hunt sponsors.)
Festival committee members did some spruiking at the
Portarlington Mussel Festival on 14 January and at the monthly Portarlington
market on 29 January, giving out leaflets and talking to visitors about the
various events in the 2017 Festival of Glass.
Finally, thanks to the team at the Portarlington Community
Information Booth Inc., which is helping to promote the Festival with brochures
and a video at Portarlington’s information centre in the Newcombe Street rotunda.
Featured
Festival sponsor – Bendigo Bank (iii)
The
Festival of Glass committee is grateful to the Bendigo Bank, which has
supported the Festival since it started in 2011. The Bank is now one of our
major sponsors and the Festival Committee is always happy to acknowledge
its contribution to the Festival’s success. Without the Bendigo Bank’s
involvement, we’d have a very different Festival of Glass.
The
Bendigo Bank offers retail banking products and services to more than
1.4 million retail customers through its 400 plus branches and agencies. Its
focus on customer and community dates back more than 150 years and makes it a
popular alternative to larger banks. The Bendigo Bank believes that successful
communities contribute to successful businesses, so the bank engages with
communities to explore how it can contribute to their prosperity.
Bendigo Wealth is the bank’s wealth
management division. Drawing on more than 150 years of banking, investment and
lending expertise, it’s the home of the group’s cash, margin lending, managed
funds and superannuation activities.
The bank’s Community
Telco Australia is one of Australia’s largest regional telecommunications
companies. Its products for home and business include fixed and mobile phones,
internet services, video conferencing, data networks and app development, all
backed by high levels of personal service. In keeping with the Bendigo Banks’
ethos, Community Telco Australia
invests its profits into local communities.
