Charity Car Drive and auction - Camp Duckadang:

Our club ran this drive for the first time this year to promote Camp Duckadang and raise funds for Youth Inserach that run counselling programs there.   A very successful auction of goods donated by a number of businesses was held to suppliment the funds raised.   We hope to make this an annual event.

Mother’s Day high tea

It has been somewhat of a tradition that our club do a Mother’s Day High Tea at Yurana for the mothers there.  This year there were 27 Women and four Men that attended.   As in previous years, fine china cup saucer plates and tiered cake plates were produced by our members, which were loaded with sandwiches, small cakes, hot savouries and beautiful cupcakes .

Bunnings Underwood Volunteers Networking Breakfast

Two of our members, Adrian and Sandra Smith, attended a Volunteers Networking Breakfast at Bunnings Underwood on the 19th May to represent our club and had some great food and morning tea!   They met up with lots of local groups with over 50 people there and learned about all the people that Bunnings support and the groups they have helped this year.
