ACT Neighbourhood Watch would like to inform the public that the 'ROOFTOP FOUNDATION INC' raffle for a Holden Cruze CD, which was supposed to be drawn in December 2011, will now be drawn on FRIDAY 27TH APRIL 2012.
The following is the official announcement from RF Inc.
'Please be advised that the Rooftop Foundation Inc. raffle (permit number: ACT R 11/00168.1) has extended its draw date to Friday 27 April, 2012. The changes to the draw were advertised in The Canberra Times on Thursday, 15 December 2011 and Sunday, 18 December 2011 under the Public Notices section.
We apologise for the inconvenience in extending the draw date for the raffle. Thank you for your support and patience.
The raffle will be drawn at Commonwealth Motors, 158 Melrose Drive, ACT, on 27/4/2012, at 1:00pm, with results being published in the Canberra Times on 29/4/2012. All donations above $2.00 are tax deductible. Permit Number: ACT R 11/00168.1'
Spokesperson for 'Rooftop' and CEO at Havelock Housing Association Inc. Loc Luu said it was regrettable that the drawing for the raffle had to be postponed but the challenges for completing the raffle prior to Christmas last year were significant and he was looking forward to wrapping things up come April.
The ACT NHW Board of Management decided in mid 2011 to partner with the 'Rooftop Foundation Inc.' to help raise funds towards building and providing more affordable housing which might allow low to moderate income earners the opportunity to be housed, and to even purchase their own home.
The Rooftop Foundation Inc. is working alongside community groups such as ACT Neighbourhood Watch, Richmond Fellowship, Havelock Housing Association, and some other Canberra businesses who share the same vision, to assist in reducing homelessness numbers in the ACT and surrounding regions.
