Money for Sea Scouts

Woy Woy Sea Scouts have been presented with a cheque for $1500 which they will use to send the Scouts to a jamboree which only occurs once every three years.

The money was donated by Ettalong IGA.

"Our token box has been extremely successful in that when customers spend more than $20 they receive one token for every $20 spent to support a local charity," said Ettalong IGA retail manager Ms Raelene Mara.

"They are given the tokens from the checkout operator to put in the charity box of their choice.

"In the short time that the program has been running IGA Ettalong has donated over $24,000 to local charities."
