25.01.2022 Our wonderful Rostrata Craft Group have been busy making the most exquisite quilts to donate to the I Spy Quilts for Foster Children project organised by Soroptimist International Fremantle. This week the group handed their beautiful donations over to Lynne from Soroptimist International Fremantle and Yvonne from The Teddy Tree in Mt Hawthorn, who donated much of the material used to create the quilts. Well done to the Rostrata Craft Group members Jan, Ros, Margaret, Theresa, Karen, Carol-Ann along with help and support of other Rostrata Craft Group members. Well done ladies!!

16.01.2022 Lately there has been a huge increase in the amount of scams doing the rounds, and the amount of money being lost due to phishing scams. We want to help keep our community safe from scams. To stay safe, people should avoid clicking links in emails or text messages, instead sourcing their own websites or phone numbers for the companies or government departments supposedly contacting them. Also talk to family and friends, this dramatically reduces the risk of getting caught by a scam. Check out whats doing the rounds on the Scamwatch website.
