We
want a cinema says kids' petition!
Wednesday, 6 October 2004
One young person is taking a stand, and taking her
commitment to Parkes Shire Council.
Ten-year-old Julia Jelbart
had the idea to start a petition to demonstrate to council how
important a cinema was to the people of Parkes.
'I think a lot of people in Parkes
want a cinema,' Julia said.
‘Especially children.'
Julia drew up a petition on the home computer, before
setting out at school with her clipboard
and pen.
