ANZAC DAY POPPY DISPLAY—25TH April 2016
Call out to any interested members of the Shire of Victoria Plains.
Below is a template of a poppy, we are looking for people to make as many
RED
poppies as you like ie: paper,
felt, plastic, card, fabric or anything
red.
We would like to make a mass display on black netting to be hung outside the Hall on ANZAC Day
If you could make your POPPY (with your name attached) and place it in an envelope to Calingiri Progress
Association, Post Office, CALINGIRI 6569 that would be excellent.
Alternatively, if you will be attending the Anzac Day service, you can bring it along on the day to be pinned on
the netting
