The Grenfell Voices Against Violence's annual fundraiser this year was a Blind Date with a Book. Donated books were wrapped in plain brown paper, sorted into genres and sold for $5.00 each.
The Blind Date with a Book concept ensures that books are not judged by their covers, something we can all reflect on. The committee had so much positive feedback from the community and raised $1555 which is used to promote awareness of family and domestic violence and the services available in our area to help those affected by DV.
Winners of our 100 Club were: 1st prize Sue Robertson, 2nd prize Lisa Eastaway, 3rd prize Lorene Hazel.
The winner of our lolly jar guessing competition was Dean Coldicott. Congratulations everyone and thank you for helping us to support our community.
