A Successful Day

Members who took part in the stall in Cronulla Mall today will all be very happy with the results.
We also sold more raffle tickets for the Christmas Hamper and drew the winning ticket which will be announced in the next newsletter.
Congratulations to our new member, Fran who already has some sales, well done.

Setup and ready to go... along with a few handmade Christmas aprons and stockings for some extra colour
