Grant helps choir stay on song THE Frankston Ladies Choir has received a grant to buy recording equipment. The choir has been entertaining audiences since 1976. They often perform at aged care facilities, and are a regular fixture at local citizenship ceremonies. The $4200 grant was handed out through the federal government’s “stronger communities” grant pro-
gram. Dunkley MP Peta Murphy said “having enjoyed the choir’s performances on numerous occasions, I can attest to the joy they bring to our community. Their melodies and the warmth of their camaraderie is wonderful to witness.” “In the past, the choir spent significant amounts of time fundraising to record their CDs and stage their performances. This grant will alleviate
the strain on their members and facilitate the production of superior quality content,” she said. “The stronger communities programme is about helping community-run organisations continue their amazing contributions to our local area. The funding is a huge boost to our smaller organisations, and I can’t wait to see and hear how the Frankston Ladies Choir benefits from their grant.”
