Your committee have been busy fund raising and our funds currently stand at just over $6000. As well we have purchased some tools and equipment and received donations of equipment, and currently hold about $600 worth of trash and treasure donations, thanks to the generous support of our members.
Our next trash and treasure stall will be held at the Kelvin Grove Urban Village Saturday markets on the 27th of November 2010 - from 6:00 am to 1:00 p.m.
We would appreciate the donation of any of your unwanted goods, clothing or shoes. With Christmas fast approaching any items of children's toys, giftware, jewellery, manchester, books, crockery and kitchenware would be very saleable at this time of year. We regret that we are unable to sell electrical goods due to state laws. Donations of goods can be left at the Exchange on Blamey Street or we can arrange pick up from your home.
Another important fund raising venture prior to Christmas is our Monster Christmas Hamper Raffle, which we will be selling tickets for $2.00 each of 3 for $5.00. We are seeking donations of non-perishable food and drinks, or Christmas gifts which can be left at the Exchange during November.
It is our intention to set up a display promoting the community garden in front of Woolworths in Kelvin Grove during busy shopping periods and would appreciate support in manning the display. We will be selling Christmas Hamper Raffle tickets at this display stand.
A reminder that membership subscriptions for the year August 2010 to August 2011 are now due and have been set at $10.00 single and $20.00 per family. Your subscriptions includes a healthy eating cookbook designed and approved by our QUT nutrition students Caitlin and Jordan.
Your hardworking committee will be taking a break from December 20th until February 1st 2011, in order to recharge our batteries before the exciting year ahead when at last we will all be able to get our hands dirty developing our community garden in Kundu Park.
We thank you for your patience and continued interest and support.
