Thomasina Challender was one of the talented artists to feature in the Save the Children Concert.

Scores of people responded to Castlemaine Uniting Church throwing its doors open for an enjoyable community event last Saturday afternoon.
They had responded to an invitation to hear local musicians and singers present a delightful wide ranging program.
The event raised $2000 in donations to Save the Children.
One of organisers, Teeshia Fitzgerald, described it as “a beautiful way for the Uniting Church to interact with its community and assist a worthwhile cause”.
“Thirteen year old violinist Thomasina Challender was one of the local artists which absolutely brought the house down. We were all in awe of her composure and talent for such a young age,” Ms Fitzgerald said.
Organisers thank all the local artists for donating their time and everyone who came along and ensured it was such a successful fundraising event.
