You can come down to Smith Street this morning, across the road from Ace Hardware, and have your car washed and enjoy some delicious cakes.

A group of mainly local ladies are using the effort to raise money to assist the plight of Palestinian children who have suffered during the latest Israeli/Hamas conflict in the Gaza Strip.

More than 1,900 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have died in the month-long conflict so far. Sixty-four Israeli soldiers have been killed and three civilians have been killed in Israel. Tens of thousands of people have been made homeless in Gaza and around a quarter of the 1.8 million population of the overcrowded coastal enclave remain displaced.

You can help by supporting this local effort and you can also have your car washed!
