Raising funds for defining cause

News

Earlier this week, DNS wrote about the World’s Greatest Shave Cake Stall that will be at the Cressy St Kiosk on March 19.

We now write about fundraising efforts by past and present residents who are participating in the World’s Greatest Shave.

Megan and Celeste are currently fundraising money and their quest for donations is because of a personal link to what the Leukemia Foundation fights for and their reasons can read about on their pages whose links are at the bottom of this story.

So far the siblings have raised a total of $93 between them and DNS hopes readers will be generous and push those totals higher, donors have the option of donating a set total or one they can put in themselves, one off or regular donations and best of all Credit Card or Paypal payment methods.

Donors can also choose to be anonymous which is good for those who like to give and not have the spotlight cast upon them even if it is deserved.

Donate today and give the Leukemia Foundation the help it needs to help those with a Blood Cancer and 34 more Australians every day who get given the news they’ve got it too.

Rovers ready for Netball season

Sport

Deniliquin Rovers have had their lineups finalized for their A, B, C and C Reserve Grades Netball teams as well as all their juniors teams.

The Rovers sadly had no room for many more eager and talented Netballers who were hoping for spots in the teams, DNS hopes that those who did not find a place in the teams continue to practice and/or participate in any form of the game from social matches to mid-week competitions and try again next season.

The Rovers hit the road and travel Interstate to Murrabit, Victoria this weekend to play Cohuna in practice matches.
A Grade, B Grade, C Grade and the C Reserve Grade team as well as the U/13, U/15 and U/17’s will be in action against their Cohuna counterparts throughout the day.

The town of Murrabit is around 90 kilometres as the crow flies to the west of Deniliquin, the town has a population of around 330 people and is known for it’s popular market that attracts visitors from near and far.

The town of Cohuna is also located in Victoria and is around 74 kilometres as the crow flies to the south west of Deniliquin and has a population of around 2,300 people, their Football and Netball Club is nicknamed the Kangas and was established at the end of the 1996 season following a merger between the Cohuna and Union Football Clubs.

DNS will update readers on the results of the game as soon as it comes to hand.

By now, the campaign in support of the Nurses at Deniliquin Hospital has been going at a fair clip of speed since Friday morning and shows no sign of slowing down.

Supplies of Blue material are still arriving in town and are now available at Deniliquin Florist as more and more Businesses offer to put signs and other material in their stores, two of the latest stores to join are SeigDiesel and 4WD as well as Deniliquin Bakery.

The silent protest site is serving it’s purpose well with no shortage of messages of support on display, residents and visitors to the town can see it 410 Charlotte Street, residents are reminded to not protest in front of the hospital in the event it disrupts the treatment and care of patients.

A sign posted in support of the Nurses has been taken down from inside Deniliquin Hospital, the sign read ‘Thank you to all our amazing Nurses in Deniliquin, Your community respects and appreciates you’

There is a new page now operational to check out on Facebook and it is called ‘Keep Deni Blue’ you can visit and like the page anytime at https://www.facebook.com/keepdeniblue
