Charity bowls raises $1165
The October Charity Bowls at the Ettalong Bowling Club attracted 60 bowlers who raised $1165.
The event brought the money raised this year to around $10,700, according to organiser Mr Ken Dixon.
"The Wednesday Ettalong Bowlers again chipped in $100 for the food while John Orme's auction of Bill Jarrett's painting raised another $100.
"The Rebels were there in support as usual, as were our Social Club supporters who have been attending for many years.
"The Who Are We bowlers also played bowls with us.
"We had three full greens, as the Zone events were also played on the day," he said.
Mr Dixon said proceeds went to Central Coast Kids in Need to assist families who have seriously ill children with prolonged illness.
"Most of these children are cancer patients, others with organ transplants and premature babies with life threatening illnesses.
"The money is used to defray the costs of accommodation while the kids are receiving their treatment."
Mr Dixon said: "Our next charity day is on Sunday, November 13, and then every third Sunday of each month."
