The Proserpine community continued its support of a local church’s building fund last month by generously donating $1500 during a recent fundraising effort.
Proserpine Whitsunday Uniting’s Trivia Night on Friday, March 24, hosted by Proserpine Community Centre was a major success for the local institution.
The local congregation began fundraising to rebuild its St James Church on the corner of Herbert and Main Streets in Proserpine after the previous building was demolished after 2017’s Cyclone Debbie irrevocably damaged its roof.
The lively crowd were kept on their toes at the Uniting Church Building Fund Trivia night on Friday according Proserpine Whitsunday Uniting Church spokesperson Jane Betteridge.
“Questions like ’How many hearts does an octopus have?’ meant there was a great deal of laughter and fun had by all,” Ms Betteridge said.
“Thanks to the generosity of the bighearted businesses and talented people in town who donated many wonderful raffle prizes, and food.”
Ms Betteridge said The Proserpine Community Centre were exceptional hosts and that the Church could not thank them enough.
She said more Uniting Church fundraising projects are on the horizon including ‘Quiche n Treats’ on the last Friday of the month from March to July, starting March 31 at 3:30pm on the Church grounds.
Sausage Sizzles will also return on the last Saturday of the month, starting in April, at Porters Mitre 10 in Proserpine.
The sponsorship campaign "Brick by Brick" will also steam ahead in the coming weeks, allowing donators to sponsor bricks in the new Church and be a part of the new building forever.
