On 22 March the Thursday Evening Group had a Trivia night, which was not only a lot fun but we raised important funds for our new Boab Footwear project. In April we continued the project by assembling the footcare packs to be shipped to Broome and distributed to the remote communities in the Kimberley.
A special thanks to our speaker Margie Ware who explained to us the challenges of living and working in the area as well as providing health services to the residents in the isolated communities and why the footcare packs are so important.
Projects are important as they not only make a difference to the recipients (in this case the residents of remote WA) but also to the participants (members and friends) that gain the satisfaction of making the world a slightly better place and all the while forging new friendships .
Thanks to everyone that came along and a special thanks to Noel Halford who identified the project and has lead the project team. Thanks also to the support of the Auburn Bowls Club who provided the space for us.
