FEBRUARY 2013
-->
2012 was a successful year
for the community and we plan to make 2013 even better.
Plans at this stage are
for our usual 2 market days (3rd March & 27th
October) and garage sale on the 11th
May.
We are in the process of
having final plans drawn up for a major extension to the hall with a view to
pursuing funding for the proposal.
We are also pursuing the
possibility of leasing the crown land to the south of the current cleared land
leading down to the river from the hall.
With the new year comes
subscription renewals.
Subscriptions are an important part of our funding to meet our overheads
each year. Our annual insurance
for the hall and grounds is approaching $3,000 and we must find funds to cover
this before we can put our fundraising efforts to hall maintenance &
improvements. Please help by
responding early. Renewal form on
page 4.
You will have noticed we
now have a new logo courtesy of Alison O’Keefe.
May we all put in the
effort to continue maintaining the hall as the focal point of our community.
Deviot Community
Association Committee
A big THANK YOU to everyone who took part in the ‘Deviot to
Dunalley’ Bushfire Appeal on the 18 and 19 January.
The generosity of stallholders, cake makers, customers and
guests was overwhelming.
Thanks to many helping hands, the kind donations of all busy
gardeners and bakers and the participating community we were able to raise
$1580!!!!!!
The DCA added $500 to this and the Folk concert on Friday night
raised $700.
All this money went directly to the Dunalley Tasman
Neighbourhood House. They are organizing a program to help residents to
revegetate their gardens. The money will allow them to buy plants, tools, seeds
and other material. So every cent will go directly to the people, who are
affected by the fire.
