Charity day at women's bowls

Everglades Women's Bowling Club raised more than $3000 at the club's Annual Charity Day on April 24.

The club donated all money raised on the day to Woy Woy Community Aged Care.

President Ms Clare Gerrard spoke, thanking all present for their generosity and acknowledging the hard working organisers for making the day "such a success".

A number of raffles were organised by club members as well as stalls selling cakes, fruit and vegatables, books and clothes to help raise money.

All items were donated by club members and various businesses on the Peninsula.

Publicity officer Ms Iris Bate said bad weather on the day did not deter anybody from playing a game of bowls indoors.

"Although the weather was not kind to us, it was quiet a success both financially and socially, with many visitors and members turning up to buy our bargains," Ms Bate said.
