Salvation Army to feature at next Seniors Talk

Times are getting tougher with the cost of living increasing, the interest rates rising and worldwide economic uncertainty. We rely upon our support services now more than ever and it can be difficult to know where to look for help.

That is why we have asked the Salvation Army to speak at our Seniors Talk on Monday 18 November at 12pm. Come along and discover the range of services they provide including financial assistance, housing support, crisis relief and help for those fleeing family and domestic violence. This FREE talk is open to anyone who interested in hearing what is available in our local community.

We are a donation point for the Community Christmas Tree Toy Appeal. Bring along suitable, unwrapped, new gifts and place them under our Christmas Tree during the month of November, to be distributed to local children in need this festive season.

Nothing is better than two books in one! “Home to Bunya Junction” (AFA FLO) by Nicole Flockton contains two stories from her Bunya Junction series. Dr Scott Caruthers has no time for distractions, but when the new obstetric specialist arrives, he can’t help but get closer. Dr Franceen Lewis has sworn off emotional entanglements, but the country GP challenges her resolve. Yolanda Watson returned to Bunya Junction with her young daughter to rebuild her life, but her husband Michael isn’t ready to give up on their marriage just yet….

Every parent’s nightmare comes true in “The Nowhere Boy” (AFM CLE) by Anne Cleary. A three-year-old boy disappears while on a fishing trip with his dad and no trace of him can be found, despite a desperate search. A woman grieving three lost babies encounters a small, abandoned boy and takes him home. Whose heart will be broken?
