Cash mob hits Nolan’s
Saturday, September 2, saw Cash Mob visit Nolan Auto Parts and Industrial Supplies. Dianne and Vince were very helpful with there product knowledge, and even offered to install wiper blades! I think we discovered it's not a shop just for the blokes although those that came along did get into the shopping spirit! We enjoyed catching up for coffee and breakfast at S2 cafe, thanks to Michelle, Sing and the team for your hospitality and great food. The Nolans shopping vouchers were won by Maree and Leona. Thanks to Our Eden Chamber of Commerce and Roses Property Management, Tony won the Art on Imlay voucher, while first time Mobber Rylee won the Sweet Shoes and handbags voucher. It was great to see some new faces along with our regulars. Our next mob will be Saturday, October 14.
