The Berrigan Red Cross Branch sincerely thanks all who supported the Red Cross stall held to coincide with the Berrigan Shire by-election on Saturday.
Winner of the signed Janice Graham painting was Sabrina Dalgliesh, second prize went to Alan Good and third to Lyndall Horne.
Funds raised will support the Finley-based Riverina Food Share to purchase Christmas hampers for those in need in our community.
The branch held its last meeting of the year last Wednesday, which was followed by afternoon tea to celebrate another great year.
But members will still be working on the Fashion Extravaganza, which will be held Friday, December 6 from 5pm-9pm and Saturday, December 7 from 9am-noon at the Men's Shed.
Thank you to John Lane and the Men's Shed for the use of the venue.
