We held another Fundraiser last Saturday when we were entertained and danced to the wonderful music of the "The Degenerates" who donated their services for our dinner dance.
A total of $773 was raised inclusive of the raffle, ticket sales and donations. What a pity more parishioners were not able to attend this most enjoyable night of music from a marvellous band whose performance seems to become more polished each year.
However the MALAWI SUPPORT GROUP wish to thank the few parishioners who attended and enjoyed a range of music from Christmas carols to Abba and a host of other fantastic dance numbers where a well known parishioner couple really showed their prowess. A few people even enjoyed the evening by just sitting, watching and tapping their feet to the playing and singing by the talented group.
Thankfully the numbers were made up on the night by a band member who is also a Malawi support member bringing along a large group of family and friends along that brought the ticket sales up to a total of $310. A door prize of chocolates and a bottle of wine was won by one of the visiting supporters.
A number of parishioners who could not attend made donations towards the function and these were even added to by others on the night that gave an amazing total of $320 worth of donations for the benefit of our Sister Parish. Thank you so much to all who contributed in this way.
A raffle was run on the night for the great prize of a $100 account that was donated by the manager of the Catholic Development Fund. This raffle raised the amount of $143 that brought the total raised from the function to $773.
Thank you again to all who continue to support the Group in it's work
