We have decided to run a Fundraising event on Friday evening 6^th OCTOBER 2006.

It is Live Theatre with great reviews from the Comedy festival and it will be held at the Studio, Holden Street Hindmarsh. The show is called “Pricks” but don’t be put off. It is a comedy set in a hospital with four players who need to administer injections to their patients. There is limited seating so please book early. Tickets will be printed soon and each secretary will be sent an allotment of tickets for sale There will be many lucky door prizes and there are Bar and Canteen facilities. It will be a fun night in October and the cost is $25.00 per person. This fundraiser will support the activities of State Council including the Scholarships and Social Justice awareness in our community. There is generous car parking facilities close to the theatre. Time will be 7.15pm for 7.30pm start. Any questions speak to me or State Chairman, Br. Brian Cooper. State Councillors will also have tickets for sale.

“Angel for a Day”

To the Branches and individuals who donated to the above appeal for Hutt Street Centre last year, you are invited to again become an “Angel” by donating to the  2006/ 2007 appeal which was launched recently. Donors will be allotted a day and then you are invited to attend on that day and assist with tasks  such as assisting serving food and perhaps cleaning up the dishes. A very rewarding volunteering task. Be an “ANGEL”.  See the latest photo on front page of August Knightlife.
