NEWS....NEWS....NEWS....at last year's Charity lunch we raised funds for the 
Shoalhaven Cancer Care Centre and last Thursday we officially donated the funds to the Centre, also enjoying a tour of this very modern, well equipped Centre.

With Your Help we raised $656.00 and St George Regional Business Bank Women in Business rounded it off to $800.00.
