MEENIYAN RED CROSS

Over 70 people enjoyed the festivities at the Meeniyan Pub celebrating Christmas in July in true community spirit whilst raising funds for the Red Cross. Complete with Christmas tree, decorations, bon bons with bad jokes , delicious Christmas dinner with plum pudding, entertainment by Tarnya Wilson [ see photo], a Christmas trivia quiz and a magnificent raffle, it all made for a very happy and successful night. Many thanks go to the businesses that supported this event including BROWN WIGG, SCHEURS FARM , BERRYS CREEK

WORLD CHAMPION CHEESE, MEENIYAN IGA, MOO’S MEENIYAN & CATHERINE’S HAIR TECHNIQUES. Also thanks to Red Cross members and other community members who donated prizes. A total of over $1,700 was raised which was a fantastic effort. Thank you to Andrew Mackie who took on the role of auctioneer, Tarnya for her beautiful singing, and Greg and Gabi at the pub for their help, and support in organising the event. It truly was the community working together to help each other. Photos show Robyn and Dale Scott and Celia and Richard Sutterby enjoying the festivities.
