The charity bowls day in early February raised $9400 for Headway Wollongong and the Aspect South Coast School for children with autism. Last December the newly renovated Headway office and new Willow respite and day options facilities opened in Mercury Street.
Woonona Women’s Bowling Club honorary secretary Helen Pittman said the 24 district teams who attended enjoyed a game of bowls and supported the many well stocked stalls.
“Woonona members work very hard over the year donating and selling goods to raise funds for charity. This pre-collected money along with funds raised on the day totalled $9400,’’ Mrs Pittman said.
Club president Sandy Stevens had much pleasure in presenting Robyn Russell from Headway and Bruce Rowles from Aspect South Coast a $4700 cheque each which was gratefully received.
For the record a team from Oak Flats won the bowls game ahead of runners-up Dapto Citizens. “Raffles were held and many visitors went home with great prizes and happy smiles.’’
