NETWORK TOPIC MARCH 2009

DAYBORO CHURCHES’ COMMUNITY CHEST

Some local families are “doing it tough” and in situations like these, as well as other urgent situations that may emerge, the Dayboro Churches Community Chest is providing assistance.  It is all done by volunteers from within our community – a community helping itself – with no Government assistance.
You can help!  Money is the best gift as the volunteer “Pantry Managers” draw from the Community Chest to top up the food supplies as needed.

MT MEE NEWS Feb09

By Ian Wells

Well, there goes another year!  It was quite a salutary one for those self funded retirees who are sprinkled quite liberally around the Mountain.  Many lost half or more of their worth in 2008 – as someone said – “It’s worse than divorce, because I’ve lost half my assets and still got the wife!”
