| South Arm ladies bare to be different again |
|
THE ‘Cat in the Hat’, ‘Racy Old Bags’, ‘We Still Can-Can’ are just some of the images that you can expect to find in the 2008 ‘Bare to be Different’ calendar. In its seventh edition the 2008 ‘Bare to be Different’ calendar is racier, funnier, and more adventurous than ever before. Ms Bev Lee, who prefers to be referred to by her calendar alias, was involved in the original 2002 calendar and will appear in the 2008 calendar month of July.  Bare to be Different “The calendar brings a lot of interest into the South Arm municipality, it is such an amazing way of meeting people, we almost have a ‘cult’ like following, I even have a 92 year old admirer from Sydney. “The calendar is so important because the people involved are all very strong women, but at this age we all experience health problems which can be very frustrating, the calendar gives us an opportunity to have fun, be a little silly and feel great about ourselves. “It also promotes positive aging, women are such beautiful creatures, we are gorgeous no matter how old we are, we have been given many compliments out of this calendar and have even been called ‘sexy’ on more than one occasion. “You can’t imagine the amount of fun, games and jokes that goes on behind the scenes, once your clothes are off it’s like you go into a zone where you’re not aware that you are actually nude. “This year I am dressed up as ‘Cat in the Hat’, Dr Seuss style, complete with hat, scarfe and stripey socks.” The 2008 edition hopes to raise funds to support the Creative Arts Program for Dementia Sufferers in Tasmania. Ms Lee recently lost her father to Dementia and felt that the Creative Arts Program was a worthwhile and meaningful charity to donate the proceeds of the 2008 calendar. “There is a big need for extra funding for this particular program because it is not funded by the government and has to be funded in other ways,” she said. “Dr Pat Baines runs the program for sufferers throughout Tasmania and offers a new quality of living to those people who have lost many different skills. “Dr Baines offers ways of developing new skills and expression through art which is such an amazing experience to give people suffering from dementia. In 2001, Dot Kelly from South Arm, noticed that Calverton Hall was desperate for new curtains. After watching the inspiring movie Calendar Girls, Dot persuaded ladies from the South Arm community to participate in their very own calendar to raise funds for the Calverton Hall. Since then the calendar has been a huge success which has managed to raise funds for new curtains, and enough money to update the stage and change rooms of Calverton Hall. Readers interested in purchasing a 2008 ‘Bare to be Different’ calendar can locate them in newsagents throughout the Eastern Shore.
