December: Each year, Blues musician and guitar maker, Scott Wise donates a handmade guitar, valued at $4,000, to a community organization in Bridgetown. This allows them to raise funds by setting up a raffle.
This year the guitar was donated to Henri Nouwen House, a support organization helping people and families, after they have been subjected to stress or trauma.
Henri Nouwen House is self-funded and the funds raised from the raffle will be put to some very valuable uses.
The winning ticket was drawn at Henri Nouwen House on the 30th November and the winner was C. Smeed of Esperance. Congratulations
