Storyteller Stars and Guests who arrived at The Arts & Cookery Bank on the evening of Friday Sept 30th may well have felt like they were arriving at a gala film festival awards event. Glitz, glamour, red carpet, and a buzz of energy combined to lend a sense of occasion to the "Story Teller Legacy" Première Night.
The Bank’s summer students put significant effort over the past few months into using the bank’s high-tech resources (video equipment and inter-active touch-screens throughout the building) to create very down-to earth documentation of the stories of community residents. Just one of several events planned at the bank over the national Culture Days weekend, the premiere gave community and family opportunity to be part of the premiere showing of the Story Teller Legacy Videos.
