Aussie Day 'a success'

An "Aussie Day lunch" held by a local pharmacy has been described as a "huge success" by its owner.

Mr Michael Cunico owner of Soul Pattinson Chemist Umina Beach said the purpose of the day held on August 24 was to promote Australian-owned products and support Australian companies.

"The staff have been inundated with letters and phone calls thanking and congratulating them."

Mr Cunico said he and his team were kept busy serving more than 400 sausages, and presenting $15,000 in prizes and free giveawys.

"The highlight was the presentation of a $10,000 cheque to the winner of The Special Privileges Club competition."

Ms George said "I have shopped at this Pharmacy since moving to the Central Coast five years ago.

"I have always been very impressed by the courtesy and professionalism of every member of staff nothing is ever to much trouble".
