Gunnedah Sign Print Stitch Anzac Day sticker sales provide funding to RSL sub-branches

The local business donated $10 from every sale of its Anzac Day garbage bin stickers to the Gunnedah, Boggabri, Narrabri and Coonabarabran sub-branches.

It comes after regular Anzac Day services were cancelled due to COVID-19, and the stickers were sold for when locals participated in a dawn service from home.

Sign Print Stitch's Tiarne Allison said the donations were a way to give back to the community.

"We just wanted to do something for the community so we thought the Anzac promotion was good because [the sub-branches] couldn't hold the Anzac ceremonies like they used to," she said.

Gunnedah RSL sub-branch president Peter Kannengiesser thanked everyone who participated in the service and purchased a sticker.

The Gunnedah branch received its cheque on Friday morning.

"We have proven, during this present time of sickness and hardship, that we can cope and I believe we will emerge, like all other times, as a stronger people and nation," he said.

Sign Print Stitch donated $1130 to the Gunnedah branch, $850 to the Boggabri branch, $1490 to the Narrabri branch, and $390 to the Coonabarabran branch.

Ms Allison said the stickers weren't dated either, so they could be reused in future Anzac services.

She estimated that more than 1000 stickers were sold to residents in the region.
