Newcastle based Squealing Piglets Motor Cycle Club included Cowra in their annual October long weekend charity run and chose Cowra Community Chest Inc to be the recipients of the funds raised, totalling $4065.

In presenting the cheque, Squealing Piglets spokesman, Steve Wendtman, said Cowra Community Chest perfectly suited their focus of donating funds to small town charities that, in turn, support their local community in areas of need.

Cowra Community Chest Vice President, Larry Walsh, responded by expressing the gratitude all Chest members felt for this very generous support, which has given this local charity a much-needed boost in funds.

He assured all present that 100 per cent of the money would be directed to client assistance.

The Squealing Piglets and Community Chest members spent a pleasant time getting to know each other in the al fresco area of Cowra Bowling Club.

Thanks to the Bowling Club for the continuous support they offer in the use of their premises to Cowra Community Chest for meetings and gatherings.
