<\/p>\nA LOCAL CWA branch \u2013 which includes some of the best mums around \u2013 has been hard at work fundraising, in the lead-up to Mother’s Day.<\/p>\n
The CWA Bacchus Marsh Day Branch held a Mother’s Day stall at The Village Shopping Centre last Thursday, raising hundreds of dollars for the group.<\/p>\n
It was a win-win for the Branch and for locals looking for a bargain, with beautiful jams, baked goods, cookbooks and more on offer at bargain prices.<\/p>\n
Raffle tickets were also on sale both at The Village, and at Foodworks the next day, with the grand prize being a hand sewn quilt valued at $400.<\/p>\n
Other prizes included a grocery hamper and meat voucher, a dingo encounter voucher, and a Kryal Castle family voucher.<\/p>\n
Branch Secretary Kaz Morce said that while there wasn’t one particular project or event the Branch was raising for, worthy causes and ideas often popped up among members.<\/p>\n
“CWA Victoria in general raise for one particular charity, but as for us as a Branch we do a bit here and a bit there,” she said.<\/p>\n
“We don’t really single out one particular cause, we keep a bit of a pool of funds for things that come up.”<\/p>\n
“There was one lady with a very unwell daughter,” said fellow Branch member Gail Sebire.<\/p>\n
“They were doing it tough, and we gave them some money towards making sure the daughter could get her operation.<\/p>\n
“We do what we can for the local community.”<\/p>\n
A total of $281.50 was raised at the Mother’s Day stall, with over 400 raffle tickets sold.<\/p>\n
