Parkes Phoenix

Snippets…

December 7, 2017 By Maggi Barnard

The Parkes Day VIEW Club held its Christmas party at the Astro Dish this week with 44 members attending.
They celebrated another year of successful fundraising for the four students of The Smith Family they support to ensure they have a school uniform, can go on excursions and enjoy all the benefits of school.

Christmas Street Parade Not Rescheduled: The Parkes Action Club will not reschedule the Christmas Street Parade this year following the cancellation last Friday due to weather risks. A suitable alternate date could not be found unfortunately due to conflicting community events. The Parkes Action Club promises next year’s parade will return bigger and better!

Upmarkets + Movie Night: The Parkes Upmarkets have confirmed that the Sparkles Upmarkets + Movie Night will go ahead on Saturday, 16th December from 5pm in Cooke Park for the markets and from sundown for the outdoor movie, The Santa Clause 2. Bring the family for fun and entertainment, face painting, photos with Santa, food and drinks.

Changes To Payment Policy: Small businesses in the Riverina and Central West will benefit from changes to Government’s payment policy. Member for Riverina Michael McCormack said Government would be required to pay invoices for contracts worth up to $1 million within 20 calendar days, instead of the current benchmark of 30 days. “This is good news for small business. Cash flow is crucial in allowing small businesses to thrive. Government is leading the way and big business should do the same.” By July, 2019, all non-corporate Commonwealth entities are to pay invoices for contracts up to $1 million within 20 calendar days on receipt of a correctly rendered invoice.

The Station Restaurant’s Summer Menu: Holiday time is a time for dining, so why not try out the Summer Menu at the Station Restaurant. Among the starters are panko prawns, Japanese style chicken skewers called chicken Yakitori and grilled salmon salad. Moving to the main meals there are pork ribs, a wagyu burger, Greek style lamb rump, char grilled sirloin, macadamia crust barramundi or salsa chicken, each with a recommended wine. There is also a kids menu, and of course desserts: bread and butter pudding, tiramisu, crumble, sticky date putting or peach melba.

Random Acts Of Christmas Kindness (RACK): Have you joined our challenge on Facebook? We are posting a RACK every day for you to do. It is great fun and a real feel good activity. Go on give it a try, all you need is kindness. And please let us know of any results – if you’ve been on the receiving end of a RACK, or have performed a RACK!
