Guyra Gazette Wednesday October 10, 2018 Page 6 Great night for drought awareness
Guyra Hockey Club and Guyra Senior Rugby League joined
forces to hold a fundraising ball in aid of Drought Relief. Our
chosen campaign ‘One Bucket’, is a drought awareness cam-
paign aiming to help the people in the cities and unaffected
places realise just how devastating the drought is on the rural
community.
It was a great night which was well attended by our wonder-
fully supportive community. The further message we were aim-
ing to promote was Mental Health and this was greatly
highlighted by Marni Turner from Peak Psychology. We haven’t
finalised the amount of money we have raised to go to ‘One
Bucket’ but we have already exceeded our expectation of the
night.
We would like to thanks Annie Thrift, Rhonda Youman, the
VRA and their awesome team in the kitchen for the amazing
meal and the great service from the waiter and waitresses.
Thanks to Kirks IGA, Lucy and Herb Mackenzie, Vidlers
