Greetings DNS readers and those who are curious,

Thank you for giving us 500 likes on Facebook, it is a humbling milestone to achieve as when the page was established one like would of been fantastic so to get 499 more of them is really something special.

Thank you for also leaving comments, it is always good to know other people’s opinions on matters and together we do very well.

It has been good to write about events like World Water Day, the uneasiness about the Murray-Darling Basin Plan and events like the World’s Greatest Shave Cake Stall and the Cake Stall and Earring Sale for the Burrumbuttock Hay Runners.

It is sad but we’ve also had to write about things like Blue-Green Algae which has dragged on for far too long as it affects in no particular order tourism, recreational activities, farming and much more.

Coming up in the future will be pieces on the best takeaway foods, go into history some more, write more on what could be really good for Deniliquin to have in the future, more Rovers Talk, maybe dip into controversy and question the existence of the Ute Muster (it does have people who wish it goes away) and much more.

Thank you once again for the 500 Facebook likes and over 2,000 site hits this year, We certainly hope we don’t write shocking in the future and cause almost everybody to leave us because that would really suck if that happens but we’re sure it won’t.

The Rovers on the weekend done a masterful job on the BBQ at the Rodeo as they kept Rodeo goers well fed with nicely cooked food, over a dozen Rovers participating in keeping the BBQ running at all times with Trav Beames clocking up at least 16 hours of work on the day.

April 2 brings us the Deni Dero Shuffle, the free entry event (event is not for U/18’s) is at the Rovers Clubrooms from 7pm and the style of dress is Dero/Bogan.

A total of 30 songs can be purchased like a person buys a raffle ticket and they will be played throughout the night, the twist is unlike a raffle it’s the last song left that results in having a winner of the contest.

There is no doubt that these 30 songs will be very interesting selections and we can only hope they aren’t howlers like Paris Hilton or Justin Bieber for those who don’t like the two singing.

The winner of the contest will find themselves a little richer than what they came into the night with and will set the rest of their weekend up nicely.

DNS thinks that April 2 will be a great time Rovers fans, for more information visit the event page on this link.

Update: There is now 40 songs available, each song can be chosen for $40 with the winner pocketing $600 if their song is the last to be played, all details available in the above link.

Deniliquin during this month of March has shown that it is a generous and compassionate town after it enthusiastically supported many great causes over the month.

Residents had donated generously to those past and present Deniliquin residents participating in the World’s Greatest Shave and also brought lots of well made treats from the Cake Stall on March 19 which boosted the donated total greatly.

Deniliquin continued to be covered in blue in support of the Nurses as restructuring of the local system has been bad news as the nurses have to now do more with less at Deniliquin Hospital which adds to nurses level of stress and fatigue and other factors.

Residents turned up in strong numbers for World Water Day and give a strong voice to what the town believes is wrong with the Murray-Darling Basin Plan especially with the Blue-Green Algae crisis now in it’s second month plus the fact that farms will be cut off by the rising river and channel water levels as the River system gets a flush.

Donations have been coming in steadily for the Burumbuttock Hay Runners, hundreds of earrings were brought as were treats at the Cake Stall and Earring Sale on March 23 plus money has been donated at Bakers Delight and at Deniliquin Rams training sessions as well donated fuel cards at Purtills and in turn Purtills and other businesses have greatly assisted in donation totals as well.

There was also the Good Friday Appeal for the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne where several Deniliquin residents both past and present have or have had received the best of care at many decades of the Hospital being in operation.

All of the above is just some of the events and causes Deniliquin has supported or lent it’s voice during this month and .it is an impressive amount of causes and events to get behind in just 26 days at this time of writing.

Some say the donations is all part of the ‘Aussie Spirit’ but in reality we are just human beings and we are not hesitant to give humanitarian aid to those around us who need it and this month so many people needed it and it was given and it will be given for many years to come.

Be proud of your efforts Deniliquin.

Good Friday is tomorrow and with that we wish all readers a Happy Easter this year and may it be enjoyable no matter the way it is commemorated or celebrated.
