With Love to the World – The Times they are a changing
Once upon a time, when you wanted to buy something you needed cash. Now there are only two places I regularly go that still require it. One of those is the car park for the Nova Cinema, and the other is my local Thai take-away shop. I don’t even need cash for the parking meter anymore.
As a mark of this changed financial world, there will now be ….
New ordering arrangements for With Love to the World subscribers.
Collecting cash, writing cheques and hand delivering booklets was normal once, but it is no longer the best use of a volunteer’s time. After the current edition, With Love to the World will revert to individual subscriptions.
If you are a current subscriber, the details you need are on the back of the booklet or go to the website www.withlovetotheworld.org.au to either download the form or order by phone.
