Port City WBC January 2014 Newsletter

WELCOME BACK TO BOWLS

What a great Christmas Party we had. A big thank you to our Committee and their helpers as these functions would not be possible without their hard work.  Also, a big thank you to Kylie and her girls from Ocean Breeze Café who so efficiently served us a delicious Christmas Lunch. 

Major Brett Gallagher from the Salvation Army joined us for lunch and it was our pleasure to present him with a cheque for over $950 and hampers of donated food, gifts and clothing for the needy.

We were then entertained with a great concert. Thank you to all the performers. Some of them may not be recognizable (the dwarfs), but I have prints of the photos taken on the day and if anyone would like a copy please see me to view the photos and place an order.

Cost will be 10¢ each.
