It conducts the Easter Fair, Christmas Carols and Australia Day events.
A not-for-profit organisation, it acknowledges generous support from Murray River Council, local businesses and other sponsors who enable it to share any profits with the local community.
Recipients include the Mathoura Public School graduating class of 2024 who received graphics calculators to help ‘kick start’ their entry into secondary education.
Another donation has been made towards a much needed project to protect elderly members of our community
It will aid the purchase of security lights to be installed at the Mathoura Retirement Village in a bid to stop break-ins and theft from the elderly members of our community.
The committee acknowledges the support it receives from the local and wider communities and visitors without whom it would not be able conduct the various events.
