Bingo Help Needed
St Mary's Parish are most grateful the wonderful people who have been able to volunteer their time and for their efforts to help keep our Bingo running.
With this help and Bingo having good numbers most weeks over the past three months, this has resulted in the committee being able to pass on $3000 to both the School and the Parish. These donations have been most appreciated and will be put to good use within the school and the Parish.
For these monetary contributions to continue we are calling out for anyone that has some spare time on a Saturday evening and able to help out for a minimum of between 1 - 4 hours to contact Maree on 0438084364.
