SPRING FAIR , OKTOBERFEST! I'm not sure which of these two grab me first.

I get an excited feeling that warm weather and flowers are in the air, then the knowledge that festivities and fun in MY local community are approaching.

TWO BIG banners welcome you as you enter Grays Point informing you that Gray's Point Public School is having their Spring Fair on October 22nd at 9am and its those first two words SPRING FAIR and OKTOBERFEST that grab me each time.

Maybe it's because THIS year GoodieDo is supporting Grade 6 students Ruby and Brooke from my local community of Grays Point. And that the whole concept of communities supporting communities is really close to home for this particular fundraiser.

Ruby came over tonight and helped me pump up some Jinta Sports Balls for the event. I sent her home with some flyers to cut and paste. 

What excites me most is doing FUN things with communities and supporting each other. To see the enthusiasm of Ruby and Brooke wanting to help out, to learn new things and to teach me new things is super rewarding.

If you want to support local kids doing GOOD things then

1. Come along to the Spring Fair, Okoberfest on Saturday 22nd(30% of GoodieDo's sales on the day will be DONATED to grade 6 for their end of year gift to the school THANK  YOU gift.)

2. Purchase something you NEED,  or a gift for someone else, and help the girls fundraising efforts through your DO GOOD purchase, and FEEL GOOD about it as all products help to make the world a better place. If not on the day anytime before the end of the year purchase through Ruby and Brooke's fundraising page here.

3. Ruby and Brooke also have an offline Ball Sale going on until December. If you cant think of a birthday or Christmas pressie and you see them riding around the neighborhood hit 'em up to place your order for fair-trade balls. They just LOOOVEEE ball sports!

P.S. See you there:) 

P.P.S If you guess the closest number of Green Grove Organics Choccies in the jar at the GoodieDo stall you WIN the whole jar!!! Winners will be notified by email week beginning 24th of October.

P.P.S How long do you think it would take you to EAT 2kg of Chocolate?

We love seeing kids who go the extra mile to give back to their community. These two kids, Ruby and Brooke, are good friends that are graduating from the Grays Point Public School this year.  Every year the graduating sixth grade class works together to raise money to buy the school a gift in appreciation for all of the support the class received over the past seven years.  Ruby and Brooke have decided to go out on their own to try to raise additional funds for the gift by selling fairtrade sports balls from Jinta.  They will ask all of their friends, neighbors and relatives to support their fundraising efforts buy purchasing great quality and ethically made sports balls.  The girls are big netball and soccer fans and they love the idea of being able to support fairtrade products while helping their school too.  Good luck to you, Ruby and Brooke and great job in getting active in giving back to your community!  Please help us spread the word about Ruby and Brooke's campaign.  To support them by purchasing fairtrade sports balls or any other ethical and environmentally friendly products on our site, visit their campaign page.
