So busy was the sales department that Joy Patton chose to miss the photo opportunity preferring, to keep serving customers keeping the till ringing. And ring it does, with the downtown institution donating $163,500 last financial to local community groups - an amazing achievement by this group of dedicated volunteers. They have just started their next round of donations including: Singleton Potters - $6,100 towards their purchase of a replacement kiln - Witmore Limited $5,500 for a coffee machine for their clients' barista training - Singleton Family Support Inc. $4,000 for short term practical assistance to clients - Elizabeth Gates $5,200 for a specialised syringe pump Singleton Potters were over the moon when they heard they would receive the funding to replace a kiln that stopped working years ago. \"It's simply wonderful to know we can buy an electric kiln and have it installed at the Mechanics Institute and start turning our clay into pottery,\" said Bev Brooker, Singleton Potters. The group meets each Thursday at the Institute and they are hoping having a new operational kiln will attract more members and people interested in learning about pottery. \"Anyone can do clay work,\" said Ms Brooker. For Singleton Family Support the funding will be used to provide immediate support for those in need."])</script>
