Murray Connect

18/07/2024

At our feast Murray River Dinner back in April, we shared these important contact details for Natural Disaster Support and Mental Health and Social Support. We had the cards printed out and on the tables.

It's a good reminder that help is available.

Whether you're dealing with the aftermath of a natural disaster or seeking support for mental health and social issues, remember that there are resources ready to assist you.

Take a moment to save these details and share them with friends and family.

Have you got your tickets to Chicks in the Sticks yet?

Pretty cool name and a great networking opportunity for all the girls in our region.

Facilitated by Cynthia Mahoney who by all accounts will run a dynamic and engaging event. I am sure we could all do with a dose of positivity, as well as high tea and catch up with friends x
