Monthly markets support local groups - Cootamundra Herald

AN increased number of stallholders to the Cootamundra monthly markets resulted in organisers handing out more money in one hit than they have previously to local communityorganisations. 

The markets are hosted by the Cootamundra Wattle Country Music Club and on a regular basis the club makes a series of generous donations raised through stallholder fees and gate takings where a donation tin is available. 

The latest recipients were the Snowy Hydro Rescue Service, the Cootamundra branch of the State Emergency Service (SES) and the Southern Cross Care Retirement Village Auxiliary. 

Each of these most deserving organisations received $300, up from the usual $250 given to groups previously.
