The Garage Sale
We have just had our best and most successful Garage Sale on the weekend of 7&8 October raising a record gross - north of $35k.
Excellent Project Management and a large number of dedicated volunteers, some putting in hours of effort, in the weeks before the weekend contributed to this result. |

TRUE STORY
SPECIALLY FOR YOU UNBELIEVERS AND CYNICS!! The other day a local mosque opened its doors and invited non-Muslims to visit in the spirit of their faith's willingness to be open and welcoming, so I too decided to go to the local mosque in Lakemba for the first time to see what it was all about: Lakemba has a large Muslim population and the Lakemba Mosque is one of Australia's largest. At the time I was limping a little. I sat down and the Imam came up to me, laid his hands on my hand and said: "By the will of Allah and the prophet Mohammed - you will walk today." I told him I wasn't paralysed, I only had a small bunion on my left foot. He came back and laid his hands on me and looking skywards, earnestly repeated his mantra: "By the will of Allah and the prophet Mohammed - you WILL walk today." Once again, I told him there was nothing wrong with me. After prayers I stepped outside, and bugger me, he was right, MY CAR WAS GONE!!! |
