Grandviews Women's Bowling Club

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) (17:11:12):

It was with immense pleasure that I was able to again sponsor Grandviews Women's Bowling Club and its annual charity day. I attended the event last month and acted as the club's barrel drawer for the mega raffle. I congratulate President Barbara Thurtell, Mary Teasdale and the ladies of Grandviews Women's Bowling Club on hosting an outstanding fundraising event. Scleroderma NSW was the charity of choice this year, chosen in loving memory of one of the club's members who passed away last year. Scleroderma is a chronic disease that causes hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues. A total of $4,600 was raised for the charity. I was very impressed with the efforts of members and friends, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make their annual charity day so successful. The generosity of local businesses and clubs that donated raffle prizes was outstanding. I congratulate the club and commend its members' efforts to the House.
