Thank you - $130 raised for MND

Thank you to everyone who purchased Christmas decorations made by Michele Brown. The decorations were sold in the CRC/along came Henry cafe during the month of December.

All proceeds from decorations sold went to the Motor Neurone Disease Association with a total of $130 raised for a great cause – well done everyone and thanks for your support!

Community Garden

Thanks to all the people who are using the honesty box. All helps when we need to add to the garden. We are looking to run an Easter egg raffle and hope you can support us! We are looking to purchase two apple trees, grape vine and passionfruit vine. Thank you from the community garden workers.
