Snippets…

May 21, 2026 by Roxane Manley

Lake Endeavor has reopened following upgrades.

Parkes Shire Council: Did you know Lake Endeavour has reopened ahead of sched­ule? Works are now complete, includ­ing dredging and construction of the new launch area, plus an expanded swimming area with an extra 10 x 20 metres of beach sand and a realigned swimming buoy. PSC looks forward to welcoming the community back to enjoy the improved facilities.

National Breast Cancer Foundation: GO PINK starts next month, and we need you to make a Pink Pledge, because every day, 56 people in Australia are diagnosed with breast cancer. But you can help save lives by making a pledge to either Wear it, Shave it, or Colour it, to raise vital funds for breast cancer research. Help us achieve zero deaths from breast cancer. Register now at fundraise.nbcf.org.au/event/go-pink/home

Legal Aid NSW: Do you know what you’re legally allowed to do at your age? Grow­ing up comes with new rights and respon­sibilities but it’s not always clear when you can make certain decisions for yourself or get into trouble for doing them too soon. Learn more: https://loom.ly/ztjtVWw

Australian Cancer Research Founda­tion: Bring your community together and help fund cancer research. Host a special event in your local area, fund lifesaving re­search for the 2 in 5 Australians that will be diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85.

Your event could be a luncheon, themed party, sports tournament or anything you choose! Sign up today and register your interest to host at www.acrf.com.au/hostinterest.

Western Local Land Services: Sheep and goats require different eID tags. If you’re ever unsure which species an eID device is designed for, just check the NLIS ID printed on the tag. The secret is in the 10th digit. Here’s what each letter means:
S = Sheep breeder T = Sheep post‑breed­er (pink tags) K = Goat breeder L = Goat post‑breeder (pink tags). Visit the webpage for information https://bit.ly/3JEurvo

Forbes SES Unit Request: The Forbes SES Unit is looking for good quality pallets to place sandbags on during flood opera­tions. If you have any pallets you would like to get rid of, please feel free to leave them outside the unit gates. Your support helps Forbes SES Unit to prepare and respond during flood events and is appreciated by the volunteers who serve the community.

Donations needed of good quality pallets
