“The goal of the fête is to raise funds for the centre.
“A lot of work has been done over the past month, and the backbone of it all has been Jill Levitas.
“She’s gone out of her way to get donations for the club and she has collected and facilitated a lot for the fête”, says chairperson Bill Aver.

Aver goes on to say, “The centre was close to closing down around this time last year.
“Most of the money we make goes to improving the place.
“It was not in a good place when we took over.
“It’s really all about getting the place right and ready to work again.”
