Tenterfield just keeps digging deeper for tsunami victims
Tuesday, 8 February 2005

The Tenterfield Shire Council kicked off the appeal with $2,500 and congratulates everyone on his or her generosity.

Collections include: Tenterfield Shire Council $2,500; Rotary Club $5,000 (both included in the total figure and Tenterfield community Tsunami appeal of $16,580.55 going to Red Cross Australia); Bowling Club $2,080; Golf Club $250; Seventh Day Adventists $500; St Mary's Catholic Church $4,600; Uniting Church $750; Anglican Church $590; Salvation Army $457; Jehovah's witnesses continuing to collect; Assemblies of God Church $200; Lions Club $490; Drake Red Cross $3,645.
If any group not listed has also contributed to the appeal they are asked to contact the Tenterfield Star office on 67361799 so their efforts can be recognised too.
