The Federal community campaign to Save the Heart of the Village (ie the historic church) will be holding its Second Edition Book Fair on 5 April from 4pm to 7.30pm. There will be a tremendous range of books to whet the appetite of readers. All books selected will be paid for by donation. What a bargain!

Afternoon tea and barbecue available.

The Cashometer, a stunning piece of work, is now erected outside the church and shows $80,000 has been raised so far – still a long way to go. Come on up to beautiful Federal, see what we’re trying to do, buy your reading for the next 12 months and have a bite to eat. It can’t get any better. See you there.

Rhonda Ansiewicz , Federal
