HELP BUY AN EYE OP: There's a SF fan on a disability pension living
on the Central Coast (north of Sydney) who needs a vitrechtomey (eye
operation. I had 2 of them last year and can tell you all the gory
details if you want to know - Edwina.) Rather than wait for 2 years
with declining eyesight to get this operation done through the public
health system, this lady is spending her savings to pay for the
operation, but doesn't quite have enough. To help her out, I'm
raffling a $30 gift card good at any Dymocks bookstore around
Australia. Tickets are $1 each, and can be purchased by sending
postage stamps, cheques or money order to 12 Flinders St, Matraville,
2036, or by direct deposit. (e-mail celestialcobbler@hotmail.com for
details.) Alternatively, see James Allen at MSFC meetings to buy tickets.
FANDOM, STAND UP AND TAKE A COLLECTIVE BOW! I've been blown away by
the generous response to the above raffle so far, especially at a
time of year when money is tight for most of us. - Edwina.
Thanks to everyone who sent us Christmas cards! We hope you have a
Happy New Year.
