Note from Frankie about the Dinner Party for 6 - Draw was on Sunday the 25th:
Marg. Weise is the winner of the Dinner Party raffle. This project has raised $1066 for general church funds. Thanks to the generosity of our cooks and those who provide the trimmings, the only cost involved is the cost of printing tickets.
Thanks to all who have contributed in so many ways. Marg is looking forward to enjoying a lovely evening with her guests.
