NALAG takes ‘Our Shout’ to Mendooran

- Contribute­d by JEN COWLEY

AS part of its ongoing commitment to support small and regional communitie­s, the team from NALAG (National Associatio­n for Loss and Grief) recently helped celebrate the festive season with the people of Mendooran who gathered in the park for the annual Christmas Fair.

Hosted by the VRA (Volunteer Rescue Associatio­n) and sponsored by NALAG, the festivitie­s included a barbecue and chocolate wheel, activities for the children and lots of prizes and giveaways. But according to the youngsters, the real highlight was the visit from some very special guests including Mickey and Minnie Mouse and, of course, the jolly ol’ fellow in the red suit!

NALAG’S support is part of its “Our Shout” program which aims to bring people together in rural and regional communitie­s that are affected by the ongoing drought.
