Cooroy Rag Grant

Tuesday night, 17th August was a big night at the Saw and Mill restaurant when the Cooroy Rag newspaper presented 21 Grants to local community groups ranging from sporting and family history, to schools and pony clubs. Nearly 100 people enjoyed the night and the Cooroy-Noosa Genealogy group was successful in receiving a grant of $1000 to assist in its digitisation project of over 10,000 local photos.

The Rag is unique in the newspaper world as it is owned by the Cooroy and hinterland community and all profits are returned back to the community.
