Canteen Roster—October Alone we can do so little… Fri 13th Liz Barnes Together we can do so much! This week is all about our community helping each other. Brodie Jones has co-ordinated a fundraiser for Pete Minchin, who continues his fight with can- cer. The event “Brodie’s bounce” will be run as part of the Mirrool Silo Kick this weekend. On Saturday Brodie will lead a group of people to walk the almost 22 kilome- tres from Ardlethan to Mirrool with a football in hand. The walk is expected to take about four-and-a-half hours. Anyone can take part and are welcome to dress in their footy colours, fancy dress or other colourful and comfortable gear. Participants may even like tobring a football, netball or any ball and bounce or kick it along the way. All money raised will assist him, his wife Fiona and their four children. As a school we encourage as many people as possible to support this event. More details and information can be found on page 2. Ardlethan Central School
