Underbool Ladies Sports Auxiliary.
We have been approached to cater for a grain corp. dinner for 100 people on the 17th August, 2016 at the Underbool Recreation Reserve. Our executive committee thought this may be a great opportunity to inject some funds into our community.
This would involve preparing and serving a 3 course meal. At this stage the menu will be:
Entrée: seafood Vol au vent / Satay Chicken & rice.
Main: Slow cooked Lamb and seasonal vegetables.
Desert: Individual chocolate puddings with dark chocolate sauce and thickened cream.
Cheese platter.
So we are calling on our wonderful community to offer a hand. We will need donations of food, cooks, kitchen hands and waitresses. Please contact Pennie Wisneske on 0437256367 or Melinda Lynch if you are able to help out in any way.
CPR Update
A CPR update is being held at the Underbool Primary School, on Tuesday 16th August from 1.00pm to 4.30pm. This is being run by Natasha Anderson. If you require an update and are available to join us, please let the school know 50946342.
