WOMEN”S BOWLS RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE CHARITY DAY
Tuesday 24 October saw Canowindra Women’s Bowling Club host the Ronald McDonald House Charity Day. We had 60 bowlers on The Ron Worboys and Harry Traves greens on a beautiful sunny day. The uniform of the day was “bright colours” and there were quite a number of Ronald McDonald characters roaming over the greens. The best dressed character was Marie Haigh via Bloomfield, Orange. Marie is always an amusing character on any green and her clown outfit with her purple shoes was the envy of the other Ronald’s.

Our guest speaker for the day was Catherine Nowlan, the General Manager of the Orange Hospital. Catherine spoke on the start of the Ronald McDonald Houses in the USA and then in Australia. The dream in 2005 to build one in Orange was realised in 2009 when the first sod was turned in Orange. There are 365 Ronald McDonald Houses throughout the world with 17 in Australia.

A cheque for $2,000 was presented to Catherine by Club President Betty Jenkins. This money was raised on the day with bowlers from Cowra, Forbes, Grenfell, Manildra, Orange and Parkes participating. Cheryl Kinsela spoke on her family’s experience with the Ronald McDonald House in Orange during the recent birth of her grandsons.

Cheryl praised the volunteers and the whole experience was one that would normally have been overwhelming during a difficult period. Winners on the day were the Forbes team of Jan Waugh, Annette Tisdell and Annie Walker. Runners up were Maureen Miller, Merilyn Rodgers and Cherie Frame. Lucky Numbers were won by Joice McNaught, Leanne Stevenson and Jill Messenger (Canowindra) Cherie Frame (Parkes) and Dawn Parker (PRD). Raffles were won by Jenny Daley, Betty Jenkins, Sue Slattery and Joe Davies (Canowindra).

A terrific day of friendship and comradery were had by all the bowlers and President Betty thanked her bowlers for their help especially the kitchen staff of Dianne Mooney, Radka Tatterson, Ellen Petty and Sandy McDonald. The spider was won by Christine
Pickard (Canowindra).
