Rural Women St Arnaud recently hosted their annual fundraiser Books, Trash ‘n’ Treasure sale accompanied by Devonshire tea.
“It was an excellent event and people came from all over the place,” president of Rural Women St Arnaud, Margaret Anderson, says.
“The holidaymakers were thrilled to be part of something different.”
The funds from the Books, Trash ‘n’ Treasure sale included monies raised from the previous year, all of which will go directly back into the local St Arnaud community.
The event follows another successful fundraiser by Rural Women St Arnaud hosted in November, ‘Christmas at the Lake’.
“We are thrilled with the amount raised, the funds will be going back into the community as well as a portion going towards Hospice, which is all close to our hearts for personal reasons,” Margaret says.
Rural Women St Arnaud has 26 members who range in age, but all share an interest in rural life. They offer support and friendship for women with an interest in the land and rural issues. Their organisation has an impressive history of making a difference in their rural community.
“We love coming together and supporting each other and the community,” Margaret adds.
