Special Announcement: Exclusive Auction Item
We’re thrilled to announce a special addition to our upcoming combined Ladies/Axemen’s luncheon on August 17th, and it’s sure to be a highlight of the event!
Thanks to the efforts of our local MP for Waite, Catherine Hutchesson, we have secured a Gather Round Footy signed by none other than our very own popular Premier, Mr. Peter Malinauskas! This unique item is a testament to the community spirit and support we receive from our leaders.
The excitement doesn’t stop there! Our Premier will be gracing us with his presence as our Special Guest Speaker (lunch date tbc), adding an extra layer of significance to this occasion. We extend our sincere appreciation to Brett Brodie for arranging this special appearance (lunch date tbc).
Now, here’s where you come in. If you’re unable to attend the luncheon on the 17th but would still like a chance to bid on this remarkable item, don’t worry! Simply fill out the Auction form available on your table and present it to one of our committee members.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to two special volunteers who have stepped up to lend a hand this season.
