Poor weather has not dampened enthusiasm for a local mental health initiative, as expected rain postpones the painting blue of a local tree (The Euroa Gazette, 13 August).

Leading Senior Constable Lucas Paul said the painting day will now occur in mid-September.

“Unfortunately, due to a poor weather forecast we have had to postpone the painting of the tree,” LSC Paul said.

“It will not be safe and dry enough to do the project on the day.

“We need to give everyone enough notice to change their plans.”

The event will still be held on a Friday.
