New executive for Can Assist

CAN Assist Dubbo has a new executive. Fran Ellis President, Rosie Gavel Senior Vice President, Jackie Walker Vice President, Janet Ruskin Rowe Treasurer, Melva Blake Assistant Treasurer, Fitz Mckay Secretary and Penny Meers Assistant Secretary.

Because of Covid-19 we have been unable to do any fund raising, however, we have received lots of donations from the community. Recently we had a raffle which ran over six days and raised $2,500. In conjunction with running the raffle we have been selling plants and jams which also helps with our fund raising. With thanks to our pot plant lady Melva Blake who pots all the plants and Jenny Slacksmith our wonderful jam lady. A big thanks to Robin Englert for the knitted baby beers with the Can Assist emblem.

We would like to thank Regional Bank for their very generous donation of $5,500.

The Dubbo Can Assist Open Gardens Charity Day will be Sunday 2nd May 2021. Watch this space for further details.
