Mayor Kerry Pascoe presented the first shoe box from the Wagga Wagga community to Carol Gordon, Regional Co-ordinator. The Mayor who knew very little about OCC before the Saturday morning was quickly briefed by one of the young women at the launch. He commended the project to the people of Wagga Wagga.
Carol organized a massive media contingent and there were articles on radio, in two newspapers (before and after the event) and on local television. Well done Carol.
The St Alban’s Church Hall was packed to capacity, every chair used and the doors to the church opened to allow more people to attend. The buzz in the air was exciting and the support of Carol’s Minister, Mal Dunnet was excellent. He was heard to say “20,000 shoe boxes for Wagga Wagga” – perhaps not this year but … watch out Wagga!!
