Made in Dorrigo Market Stall
Last Saturday as you know we had a stall at the Made In Dorrigo Market, which was very successful. It was great to see so many familiar faces out and about. The sense of community was really great to experience.
The stall was made possible by the contribution of a team of people who did a great job. The Mini Vinnies and Craft Club members, alongside the staff members, devoted their lunchtimes to making Christmas ornaments and cards as well as delicious treats. Thank you to everyone who played a part in the background and on the day. We managed to raise a total of $480, $200 of which will be donated to St Vincent De Paul in Dorrigo and $280 which will be donated to Pete's Place in Coffs Harbour to purchase a backpack bed for the homeless. Thank you for your ongoing support!
Wishing all of our families a Merry Christmas and a restful holiday,
Louise Sprowles - LOSEC
Community Carols on the Hill
Our thanks go to the students who attended Carols on the Hill on Sunday. It was great to see a number of students perform at this event. It was a fantastic celebration of the coming together of the churches in Dorrigo. Our thanks go to Reverend Mike and his team for their organisation of the evening.
