At the meeting it was advised Steve is almost at $30,000 mark with his Cans for Can Assist! This is no mean feat and every cent raised goes to Harden branch. Let’s help him get there before the next meeting in October.
A reminder if you are having a function of any kind, please call him to provide a dedicated bin for your cans and bottles – less cleanup for you and he will come back to remove the bin for you. Can Assist would love to hear from you 0422 284 962.
Can Assist has now received more bins so you will see them around in more places throughout the area. Please use them and if you see any overflowing or issues, please call Steve or one of the committee members to have emptied etc.
Recent events have been very successful and received a lot of publicity and wonderful feedback. Head Office has highlighted these in the latest edition of Branching Out. If you haven’t received yours please return email and you will be forwarded a copy.
