Sometimes these days one knows that one is in the right place at the right time with the right people who are supporting animals facing extinction.
This realisation happened to many of us last Thursday at the Bangalow Koala Fundraising night at the A&I Hall.
With good food, hilarious comedy, generous hearts, and great organisation, a full audience raised a lot of money to reach the goal of planting 500,000 trees for koalas by the end of 2025.
What a great night and a great cause. Good on you, Linda Sparrow!
Now let’s all make sure we drive carefully on the roads around here!
