SUPPORTING OUR JUNIOR FOOTBALL AND NETBALL DEVELOPMENT
| Sorrento Sharks Mega Raffle |
SThis is the one we need your help with.
The Mega Raffle is live, and the prize pool is our biggest yet, with over $120,000 worth of prizes across 13 draws.
Thirteen draws, and every single one of them is worth winning. Start at the top and work your way down.
The prizes:
Here is why it matters. Every dollar raised goes straight into our junior programs. Junior development is not a side project at this club; it is the whole future of it.
The kids running around at Shark Park now are the ones who will be pulling on a senior jumper and an A Grade dress in a few years' time. If we keep investing in them, this club stays strong for the next generation. If we do not, we go backwards.
Continually improving what we offer our juniors, better coaching, better facilities, better pathways, is essential to the longevity of this club. That takes money, and this raffle is how we fund it.
So here is the ask. Please share the link. Send it to your family, your mates, and broader networks.
Every share puts the raffle in front of someone new. SEE THE LINK BELOW THE FLYER.

The Southern Unit (Victoria/Tas) of Worldwide Marriage Encounter is pleased to be offering an enrichment day for couples.
The Enrichment Day is based on The 5 Love Languages - international bestseller by Dr Gary Chapman
We all need to feel loved. Men and women have an “emotional love tank”. When it’s full, we feel content, secure, and loved. We all communicate love primarily according to one of five love languages. And the truly life-changing moment comes when we understand and speak each other’s love language.
The presenters, Deb & Paul Cochran, have been married for 37 years and involved with Marriage Encounter for 27 years. They have presented the 5 Love Languages Enrichment to Couples in Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane. Deb & Paul bring the concepts of the book alive in a humorous and relatable way as they share their own experiences
Sat 15 August 9 - 5pm at St Eugene’s Retreat & Conference Centre, 45 John Field Drive, Newborough (Gippsland) VIC 3825
Cost: $60 per couple (includes course materials, lunch and morning & afternoon tea)

MacKillop Family Services is calling on the community to make their home a safe space for vulnerable children and young people. Throughout the Sorrento area there continues to be a high demand for foster carers who can provide nurturing care and support for children in their local community.
Foster carers come from all walks of life. The most essential criteria is that they care, can provide a safe and nurturing home, and have room in their home to support a vulnerable child or sibling group.
MacKillop supports foster carers with comprehensive training, ongoing guidance and support, respite care and an around the clock helpline.
If you think this is a role that you and your family are ready for, call MacKillop Family Services on 1300 791 677 or visit mackillop.org.au/fostercare for further information or to make an enquiry.
