WALK MY WAY: Dalby Dawdlers

We’re stepping out in support of the Ukrainian people on Saturday 11 May at Walk My Way Ukraine!

We’re joining with hundreds of others to walk 12.5km or 3km along the Brisbane River to send a message of peace and support from the heart of Brisbane to the hearts of the Ukrainian people.  This is where we need your help.

It would mean a lot to us if you could support our fundraising by donating to our fundraising page?  Even a small donation will make a difference for a child and family in danger

Together we can show the Ukrainian people that they are not forgotten… together we can help provide the much-needed support that they need.  Thank you!

Holiday Fun Time (HFT):

Looking to start planning for HFT in the September School Holidays and seeking 2-3 other people who would be willing to join me as director.  Please let Aimee know as soon as you can.  Thank you.

CWCI (Christian Women Communicating International):

This year Lynda Robertson & Angela May bring the CWCI Safari ministry to our area.

Please join them for Coffee & Dessert – Thursday 16 May @7pm and/or Morning Tea - Friday 17 May @ 9.30am @ Frank Knight Room, St John’s Anglican Church, Cunningham St, Dalby. There will be a donation box and bring a plate to share.  For more details contact Kerry Gibson 0419 773 260.
