Our wonderful local Jindalee Districts Australian Football & Netball Club Incorporated are running a Cookie Dough Fundraiser to raise much needed funds to help fund running costs and equipment. With COVID-19 the club has been unable to generate any income and is asking for support from our local community to help if they can.
With each tub sold the Jags will make a high profit of $5 per tub. There is no obligation to purchase a tub of Australia’s finest cookie dough, but if you don’t, you’ll be sorry! To order or for more info check out bit.ly/3ekW5Zi
