A Pledge Worth Bidding For

FINALLY there is the opportunity for local people to get something from a politician, with Tony Windsor pledging to cook a gourmet BBQ for six people as part of fundraising efforts for the Scone Neighbourhood Resource Centre.

The Centre is raising money to buy a building and ensure local services grow and stay local.

Lee Watts, manager of the Scone Neighbourhood Centre said the support so far has been great and encourages others to make a pledge.

“We are organising a skills auction where individuals donate a skill that they believe will raise goods funds if auctioned,” said Mrs Watts.

“The support we have received so far has been great and we want to encourage more people to donate their skills to help us raise money for a building,” she said.

“The funds raised are to relocate to another location but continue to provide and increase the programs and services offered to the community” Mrs Watts said.

“As new pledges come in they will be promoted on the Neighbourhood Centre website,” Lee Watts said.

The auction will begin with a yabbie race, so arrive early to back a winner.

Skills donated so far include:

• a morning at Cressfield Stud during breeding season and an afternoon at the races as an owner;
• a term of ballet with Amy’s School of Dance;
• a joy flight from Alan Gordon;
• an oil and pencil canvas by Andrew Davis, from the Aberdeen Men’s Shed;
• a financial planning, insurance and mortgage review by Ausure;
• a gym membership from Anytime Fitness;
• a photo shoot from Magic Lantern Photography;
• a Facebook marketing for business workshop by Taylor Made Marketing and
