The Charity Auction that was to be held at Mingara Leisure and Recreation Club in early 2011 had to be postponed due to logistical reasons, and we hope to announce a new date for this event soon.
Dilly Bag launch, Chertsey Primary School
The Dilly Bag program is a literacy project designed for indigenous students in Australia, and local Chertsey School has 10% of students identifying as indigenous. "Tales from A Dilly Bag" is designed to improve literacy levels amongst indigenous students at primary level by engaging them in reading and associated craft activities. Erina RC's successful launch at Chertsey on October 2010 was presided over by School Principal John Anderson and Erina RC then-President Monika Hansen; some photos of the day are reproduced below.
