There is an open invitation to the community to the event with a free sausage sizzle from the volunteers from the Quirindi Lions Club and Santa is arriving at 6pm to chat with the children and to hand out some treats.

Council is also inviting community members to bring along an unwrapped gift to go under the Giving Tree to support the CWA and St Vincent de Paul Society, Quirindi this Christmas.

Council’s General Manager Jo Sangster said the Christmas Tree and community event on Wednesday will be a great chance for families and their friends to get together just before the Christmas holiday break.

“With the restrictions this year imposed by Covid-19 and other events like the flooding, it will be a great time to relax,” she said.

Although my profile in the paper today captured my passion for our community, there were a few key things that were misinterpreted, or changed. The only time I worked in real estate was when I was studying for my undergraduate degree, most of my working life has been as an Accountant. For the last 6 years I have managed our family building company. I have lived in Quirindi and surrounds ALL my life.

If you would like to submit a question please submit it to the chamber today 😊👍
