Generosity helps Ravenshoe groups
FOUR groups in Ravenshoe have just received a financial boost from the town’s IGA.
IGA owners Lawrence and Marion live above their business in Grigg Street and have always been committed to giving back to the community that supports them.
Once a year, some lucky not-for-profit groups and clubs benefit from all the sales in the store of any of the “Community Co” products.
On behalf of the owners, Ravenshoe Chamber of Commerce member Doreen Mortimore was given the privilege last week to deliver the good news to the recipients.
“The four lucky recipients in our Ravenshoe community were so grateful for the amazing gift,” she said.
Ravenshoe Tennis Club’s message to Lawrence and Marion was: “Thank you, your donation is vital for keeping the club running and we want to express our gratitude for this generous donation”.
Ravenshoe Tigers JRL were also thankful for the donation which will be used to help all players to be a part of the team, helping to get the club up and running for the 2024 season.
“Ravenshoe Kindy staff were taken aback with the donation to assist the youngest members of our community in their social and educational beginnings,” Ms Mortimore said.
“Ravenshoe Bowls Club were very surprised when, after I had enjoyed one of their Friday night meals, I had the pleasure to present the cheque to the club president.
“It was amazing to hear the applause from the 60-plus patrons attending. They thanked Ravenshoe IGA for supporting locals.”
