Folk club raises $2,000 for Mary Mac’s

Christmas is usually a time for celebration and happiness as family members and friends come together to celebrate the passing of another year.

But that is not how it is for some people – and that’s where Mary Mac’s Place makes a huge difference to some lives.

Close to 200 patrons attended the Troubadour Folk Club’s recent successful Bushwackers concert at the Everglades Country Club, with a raffle on the night raising $910 for Mary Mac’s.

Raffle prizes were supplied by Troubadour club members, the Everglades and the mighty Bushwackers themselves.

Thanks to the generosity of members, patrons and performers through the year, the Troubadour Club was able to top it up, rounding the donation out to $2,000.

With little other funding except for the generosity of local folk, Mary Mac’s Place is always in need of such support as it goes about its business of helping anyone who is homeless, transient, hungry or in need of a helping hand.

If you have any dollars you can spare, think about tipping some into the coffers at Mary Mac’s.
