Pink Lakes Pantry Paper Delivery
As I have previously posted, the Pink Lakes Pantry has to organise the paper pickup and delivery from Ouyen on Saturdays and Public Holidays. It is becoming very difficult to find volunteers to do this for us and this is even more difficult during footy season. A huge thank you to Lorraine Hickmott also known as "my mum", who kindly offered to pick up the papers from Ouyen on Saturday, and travel to Underbool much earlier than she had previously planned to. Thanks mum! If there is anyone else who would like to help out with the paper pickup at anytime, please contact me. Cheers, Colleen
