To continue the annual support for the Westpac Helicopter support group, however, Lions and Rotary are jointly running a Christmas hamper raffle. DTB Fabrications and Tenterfield Hardware and Gifts are supporting the cause with the donation of two garden trolleys. Each will be filled to overflowing with around $375 worth of Christmas cheer.
It's a shame we can't go ahead with the carnival.

Raffle tickets are available at the Rescue Helicopter Op Shop, and Lions and Rotary volunteers will be manning the barbecue outside Coles and selling tickets this Saturday and again on December 5.
Rescue Helicopter support group members will also be selling tickets in front of Bruxner Park next Thursday, November 26.

"It's a shame we can't go ahead with the carnival as it's a great community get-together," Ms Dalton said.
She's also keen that club members maintain that volunteering habit, meeting up at the club's shed at Rugby League Park recently.
Ms Dalton said the exercise served not only to tidy up the storage facility and catering van but also to reconnect with each other.
