PROCEEDS from a successful charity trivia night at Club Glasshouse have been handed to Morris House Neighbourhood Centre which will use the funds to continue supporting locals in need.
A cheque for $2033 was handed to Morris House volunteers on Friday (May 19) including Ann Husband, who said they were humbled by the gesture.
Money was raised through ticket sales, raffles and cocktails during the trivia night. “When we were told how much money they raised, we just couldn’t believe it… and we are so grateful for the donation, regardless of how much it was going to be,” Ann said.
“It was a beautiful night and was so much fun, we deeply thank Club Glasshouse for choosing us as their charity, and donating this money to us.”
Club Glasshouse manager, Geoff Martin, said the club was delighted to assist Morris House.
“Donating money to organisations like Morris House is what we are for,” he said.
“We are a community club and that’s what we do for the community.
“We have charity nights once or twice every year and we choose a different charity each time, our members support us and helped raise that money.”
Morris House volunteers will likely use the donation to buy a new chest freezer, and put the rest into its Emergency Relief Fund, which funds PBS scripts, fuel vouchers, Go Cards and more.
