There will be a meeting of the Dish committee at 7:45pm, on Thursday, 14th July, at the Manse. Anyone interested in the work of the Dish is welcome.

Last year our ‘more than a soup van’, The Dish, was fortunate to receive a grant from the Community Grants Scheme. These funds have been used to equip an area under the stage to house basic kitchen and storage facilities. This means that there is now a central area from which we can dispense food for the meals and the goods that we store before we give them out to the folk in need of them. Thanks to the NSW State Government for their support, and to Judy Hopwood and Barry O’Farrell who encouraged us to make the application and have taken a personal interest in the work of The Dish.

Next meeting of the Dish will be at St. John’s Manse, Thursday 24th February, at 7:45pm.

On Saturday September 11^th there will be casserole dinner at St. John’s to raise funds for the Oetapó school in East Timor. Bring friends to make up a table of 8, or buy a ticket to join a Church Family Table. Tickets are $30 for a selection of casseroles, desert and tea/coffee. Contact Annie Loxton or Patricia Daly or email oetapo@stjohnswahroonga.org for more information or to buy a ticket.

The Dish AGM will be held at the Manse, 7:45pm, on 2^nd September.
