World Youth Day 2008 in Australia
As you may be aware, Emily HURLEY will be attending World Youth Day 2008 in Australia. In an effort to help her with the fund-raising necessary for her journey, an account has been set up at the Green Depot on Adelaide Street in Carbonear. If you would like to donate the refund from your recyclables (beverage containers, bottles, etc.), just tell the staff at the depot to put it on Emily Hurley's account. Your help is greatly appreciated.
