Visit to West Wyalong a great hit

Sam and Jenny had a fantastic trip to West Wyalong in the NSW Central West on June 25 and 26, with more than 230 people attending a community event at the West Wyalong Services and Citizen's Club. It was a night for the whole family and it was great to see so many kids and young people amongst the audience. The event was organised by a wonderful band of local service providers including (pictured above with Sam and Jenny, l-r) Lisa Minogue, Rural Financial Counsellor; Sarah Heinjus, Community Support Worker and Jan Bruce, Drought Support Worker. Sam said, "We came away thinking that that rural community is lucky to have such a great support team of dedicated people...not just in Lisa, Sarah and Jan...but also their colleagues who are helping support rural communities, many who are still in drought after many years. There has been some rain in the area but the drought is far from over...it will take years for farmers and their communities to recover financially."
Sam and Jenny also spoke to students from local schools during their time in West Wyalong, including St Marys War Memorial School; West Wyalong High School and Ungarie Central School.
