3rd Annual Christmas Food & Toy Drive

Wow! Our 3rd Annual Christmas Food & Toy drive in support of Knox Infolink was held last night in beautiful conditions at Tormore Reserve. With all Senior Mens & Women’s teams, Masters, Vets and some Juniors training together it was an awesome way to roll into the upcoming Christmas break.

Thank you very much to everyone who was able to contribute something to support Knox Infolink Inc in their ‘Share the Joy’ Knox Christmas Appeal.

Our donations just get bigger and bigger each year, something you should all be very proud of as these donations do make a big difference. Thanks to Ellen for cooking a BBQ and the fruit afterwards.
