The three storey boys home is progressing very well and the roof will be
completed in the next week.
The building itself should be completed by August but there are many things
that need to be completed before the building can be occupied.
Fitting out the kitchen is the number one priority but setting up rainwater
tanks and solar hot water will closely follow. |

CHRISTMAS RAFFLE AT PT. ELLIOT MARKET
On the last Pt Elliot market before Christmas, 32 stall holders and the Rotary Club of Encounter Bay contributed goods for a large hamper which included a wheelbarrow courtesy of Mitre 10, Port Elliot. Every customer at the market received a raffle ticket for their chance to win the prize. Many of the market goers remained at the market hoping to win the Christmas Hamper which was drawn at 11.30 and the winner needed to be on site to collect the prize. On the 1st ticket drawn, a very lucky Fred Maiolo took home the prize.
