Euchre players raise money for charity

The Euchre Card Club in Woy Woy has donated $1600 to charities since it was established earlier this year.

Club organiser Mr Ken Dixon said the charities included Cystic Fibrosis ($350), Multiple Sclerosis ($350), Guide Dogs Association ($325), Gosford Hospital Children's Ward ($325), and the Black Dog Institute ($325).

"The card players meet each week at the Old Pub at Woy Woy and have a great time," Mr Dixon said.

"They pay $5 per week and run a weekly raffle as well as having a sausage sizzle on the first Saturday of each month.

"The next sausage sizzle will be held on Saturday, July 7, with a gold coin donation.

"All monies raised goes to charity so it is a great cause.

"Any new card players will be made most welcome.

"Raffle tickets are on sale from Thursday through to Sunday each week with the draw taking place at 11.30 on Sunday.

"Winners are notified by phone with the prizes consisting of meal and drink vouchers as well as meat trays.

"Everyone is welcome to attend to support this group which is raising funds to support charities in the community."
