Community Markets in Valla and Bellingen.
We are still looking for volunteers to help with our market stalls, particularly the three markets in Bellingen. You don’t need to have any experience of doing this kind of activity, and you will always have somebody with you who is an “old hand”. If you can manage an hour or two, that would be greatly appreciated. At our stalls, we will have a petition to sign, a sign-up sheet to encourage people to join our supporters’ list and various leaflets which help to inform the public about the plight of asylum seekers and explain some of the myths around seeking asylum. You will be in good company and you will find that the great majority of people are sympathetic to the cause. The dates for the markets are :
Valla Beach: 7th February: 4th April; 6th June
Bellingen: 21st March; 16th May; 18th July.
If you can help, then please phone Mike on 6569 5419 ; John on 0447 225241; or email RAR on belingen.rar@gmail.com
