This month is a busy one for the Allora and District Days For Girls.
On Mon 13 January the group will prepare for the upcoming multi-draw raffle as part of the Heritage weekend over the Australia Day weekend.
Day For Girls will be selling raffle tickets at the weekend and outside of the Allora IGA in on the Monday, Wednesday and Friday on the two weeks preceding the weekend.
The main prize is a trolly full of goods with additional prizes as well. Please consider buying a raffle ticket to support this local group in supporting women and girls in need. The raffle will be drawn on Saturday 25 January between 2.30 and 3pm at the Allora showgrounds.
After the 12 January meeting, the next meeting will be held on the 27 January and, depending on availability of products, the girls may be packing for a shipment to the Philippines.
Please consider coming along as there are a variety of jobs to be done by sewers and non-sewers alike. Even if you can’t attend the monthly gatherings, there is certainly sewing which can be completed at home. Please contact one of our executive team for further details if this is of interest to you.
