BCC Grant Opens MONDAY 10 October

The Building Stronger Communities Grants Program will provide funding to community-based, not-for-profit organisations to deliver projects that develop or improve their facilities, or improve their governance and long term organisational sustainability.

A community facility is a facility that supports community sport, recreational, cultural and social activities and in doing so, helps provide for the physical, cultural, mental and social wellbeing of the community.

There are three categories for funding, with Category One and Two focussing on facility development and maintenance. Category Three focuses on improving organisational development, particularly in the area of effective committee management.

Applications open Monday 10 October online at www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/grants

Bartons Bayside Charity Dinner

Bartons Bayside has come up with a great idea for an annual fundraiser to benefit local charities.

Barton’s Community Charity Dinner last year raised over $50 000.00 for Darling Point Special School which enabled them to purchase a new bus.

This year they have decided to spread the love and divide the proceeds between four worthy local groups.

The intention is for this dinner to be an annual event.

Tickets are all inclusive and $100 for single and $900 for a table of 10.

I urge anyone who is community minded to attend this year’s event on Friday 4 November 6.30 for 7pm at Wynnum Manly Leagues Club, Wondall Rd, Manly West.

To purchase tickets contact Sue Keller on 3396 7777 or email suek@bartons.net.au. If you can’t attend and would like to donate, please also contact Sue.

I look forward to seeing a full house on the night and this event becoming a highlight of on the annual Wynnum calendar.

Well done Bartons!
