Members of the Forbes Evening Branch of CWA Members wish to thank everyone who enjoyed and supported their Soup and Slice Kitchen on 6 August, as a ‘sit down’ or ‘a takeaway’ patron.
The August event offered five different varieties of soup served with a bread roll, along with the introduction of slices and a hot beverage.
The numbers of patrons attending increased overwhelmingly, with 95 serves of soup sold, compared to 25 at the July Soup Kitchen.
At the completion of the August Soup and Slice event, the raffle conducted by the Forbes Evening Branch over recent months was drawn. First prize, a tonne of firewood valued at $400 (kindly donated by the Forbes Men’s Shed) was won by Mr Kerry Smith. The winner of second prize, a $200 voucher to be used at Cahill’s Footwear or Euphoria was Mrs Lesley Teale.
Congratulations to both winners and thank you to everyone who supported the branch raffle. Funds raised by the Forbes Branch of CWA are returned to the Forbes Community as needs arise.
The final Soup and Slice Kitchen for 2025 will be held on Wednesday 3 September, with the doors opening at 12 midday at the CWA Hall in Lachlan Street, Forbes.
There will be some of the favourite varieties of soups on offer, along with several ‘new varieties’, created by members of the Forbes Evening Branch of CWA.
For just $10 you can enjoy a serve of soup, bread roll, slice with tea/coffee. takeaway serves will be available if you are unable to sit and chat.
