Parkes Evening View Club
Sadly due to declining membership, the Parkes Evening View club celebrated its final meeting this week after 23 years of actively sponsoring disadvantaged children through the Smith Family. Although a “Day View Club” has existed in Parkes for 50+ years the Evening club was formed in 2000 to enable “working women” to have an opportunity for increased social activity as well as to enjoy fundraising to sponsor these students. Most members are no longer committed to full time employment and will transfer their membership to the Day View club.
R U OK? Day
When asking R U OK?, show someone you’re genuine and that you care about them.
Meaningful connections can make a huge difference when those we care about are struggling with life’s ups and downs.

Eugowra Historical Museum & Bushranger Centre
The museum was successful with a grant from the Stronger Communities program for $20,000. This will go toward installing a ceiling in the old building which is at the front of the museum. We still need further funding to complete this project and hope funds can be arranged to get this underway soon. Great things ahead for this museum.
