SOOSH will be starting their day with a yoga lesson, Aberdeen Library will be making jig-saw puzzles and decorating butterflies and at Scone Library you can attend storytime and craft.

It is fantastic to hear that Rural Aid have organised volunteers that are ready to roll up their sleeves and support Murrurundi and surrounding farms. The town will also have the privilege of hearing from ten Army Band members that will perform at schools and will be at the White Hart Monday 6 May.

Not to be missed at the Rosedale Complex thank you dinner on May 10 for the volunteers and community.
