As the major sponsor of the upcoming JG Pest Control Pink Ball, we are proud to be supporting the Tasmania Cancer Council. This special event will be held on Friday 18 October and is being organised by local Penny Weeds operator, Penny Gardner. Yes, her surname fits perfectly.
The evening will feature live music from Tasmania’s own Gypsy Rose, with supper provided and bar facilities available through the footy club. For tickets or enquiries, phone Penny on 0437 757 165. This is also Penny’s business number for any gardening needs.
Letter to the Editor
The Pink Ball holds extra significance for us as it coincides with our small business’s 20th year in operation. Over the years, JG Pest Control has proudly supported many community events and promotions, and this one has a particular focus on women in our customer base, some of our most loyal and valued supporters.
We have a long history of backing local sporting clubs and community organisations, including the Deloraine Golf Club, Deloraine Football Club, Deloraine Show Society, and the Deloraine Apex Club. We also regularly supply gift vouchers to groups such as the Westbury Show Society, Westbury Primary School, and the Toddle Inn, around 10 to 12 vouchers each year.
