On Sunday, this club of women with a desire to help those around them, put together a quiz about animals to raise funds for Maltese, French Poodle & Yorkie Rescue SA and Friends of Rescued Animals (Fora). They also sold raffle tickets for added fundraising. There were prizes for all who took part in the quiz and for the participants who were dressed the funniest.

According to Megan Adriaanzen, the chairperson for the club, someone donated a cake for them as well as a self-made dog bed that was raffled off and all the women donated a bottle of alcohol to go with a doggie bag and a food hamper.
