October Roundup
from President Vaughn
Op Shop
The Op Shop is in the process of changing over from winter stock to summer stock.
From the first Sunday we had a sale of winter items which remained on sale before culling
and adding summer stock this coming month.
From the October long weekend, we also start setting up Christmas items for sale.
So, if you’re looking for something to celebrate Christmas take time to browse
the items in the Op Shop.
Supporting Primary Schools
On Wednesday 16th September Noel McManus, John Clucas and Vaughn visited Coolongolook,
Nabiac, Krambach and Hallidays Point Public Schools to present the school principals
with $1000 dollars each to assist with their educational programs and end of year presentations.
The principals were very appreciative and were very happy to show us around their schools.
Hallidays Point Sports Fishing Club
On Saturday 29th September Tamara Whitney, Faye Murray, Norm Maberly Smith and Vaughn
attended the Hallidays Point Sports Fishing Club’s Fundraising Bowls Day playing Bowls
against ‘the Sledges’ Golf Club at Club Black Head.
It was a very pleasant day with each team playing four rounds of bowls as well participating
in a raffle, 100 Club and a sumptuous BBQ. The final was taken out by a team from ‘The Sledgers’.
At the end of the day the Hallidays Point Sports Fishing Club donated $1390 dollars raised
to Hallidays Point Lions Club which is very much appreciated.
