After having multiple judges tour the town Christmas lights — not an easy job at all! 🎄
Choosing first and second place was incredibly tough, as both displays were absolutely outstanding.

🥇 1st place….. The Nixon family, White Street $300

🥈 2nd place… (by the narrowest of margins — almost equal first!): Talisha, Jai and family (Cassilis street) $200

🥉 3rd place….lots of places were again equally as good but we came up with Kerry And Robyn Vallette who year in and out have decorated their place on the (corner of Clarke and Gordon street ) $100

A huge congratulations to all households for their amazing festive spirit and effort, bringing a bit of light, joy and love to our community✨

Our community has many members that have been touched by su***de. Talking about su***de and its effects helps our community understand that su***de is often the result of an individual feeling unbearable emotional pain and not being able to ask or receive help with what they experiencing.
We can all help by being kind, listening without judgement, reaching out to our family, friends, and acquaintances and assuring them that we are here and will help without it being burdensome. We are all in this life together and every life is precious.

Today is ***dePreventionDay which is a time to raise awareness and encourage open conversations to prevent su***des.

More than 1 in 3 Australians have been close to someone who took or attempted to take their own life.

Collecting data on mental health is important for su***de prevention. It can assist in many ways, like making informed decisions, identifying at-risk groups, and monitoring trends.

If you, or someone you know is experiencing distress, please contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or lifeline.org.au or Beyond Blue on 1300 224 636.

Hi - Day 1 of our crowdfunding campaign and we are just over 10% of the way to our first goal. We would have liked to have had a better first day, but recent events have meant time and attention was elsewhere for a good chunk of our lead up to launch. That's OK, that's why we are here, to help people come together in sad times, and happy.

So how can YOU help us? Well, you can make a pledge that has a reward, or pledge just cash. That would be awesome. You can also share this post on your feed so your friends and family can also help. Some people need to see something multiple times before they decide to join in, so let's keep the campaign in their minds so when they are ready, they remember to chip in. Make it your good deed for the day ;)

Click through on the link and make your pledge right now (please!)
