LETS get together in Atherton for a Trade Day and to renew our friendships. Everyone who is a member of FNQ Community Exchange (LETS) is asked to bring their homemade goodies, unwanted but still in good condition items, and homemade crafts. Don’t forget to look in your garden – any surplus plants and fruits will be welcome. It’s an outdoor event in the gardens of Mabel’s Hive on Mabel Street in Atherton. Please pass the info on to your friends who may be interested in learning more about bartering.
