ROBBERY- A SAD EVENT
Posted on | May 12, 2013 | Comments Off on ROBBERY- A SAD EVENT
It is very sad to have to advise that last month an individual broke into our truck and literally emptied it of all the items, also all the donations that had been left by generous residents were also stolen. It is very sad that someone who lives among us feels that it is a great idea to steal from a charity, especially one that only supports the local residents. We wish to thank and acknowledge the hard work of the Bribie Island Police who located some of the items stolen. Due to this incident we have had to increase security once again, using funds that could have been used for more worthy purposes.
Winter is just about here and we have a wide range of winter clothes and Jeans available, we also have scarves and gloves. The book area has many new donations with a wide variety of titles and authors, so come along and browse.
As always we have a need for more volunteers, so if you can spare some time and wish to make new friends, while helping your community please give Sonia a call on 34081014. It is Volunteers Week (10th May) and we would like to take this opportunity to thank our wonderful volunteers for all their support and hard work – THANK YOU.
Please remember donations are always welcome and it they are bulky please give us a call and we will pick them up.
This October is the 50th anniversary of the opening of the bridge 1963. There will be a lot of celebrating, so please keep a lookout for functions that will be happening during that month commencing the 19th October. Busy Fingers hopes to participate in the Island’s parade and also have a fashion parade during that week. We will start advertising our involvement in August, we hope you will be able to come along and join us in the festivities.
Have a Great Day
