THE Leeton JumpStart Fund will keep its fund-raising activities to a minimum for the remainder of this year, following on from the selling of the house it built earlier this year.

The long-running project resulted in close to $200,000 being injected into the fund's kitty that will be used to assist Leeton shire families affected by tragedy, sickness, accidents or death.
JumpStart will hold a street stall in November before moving towards a bigger event next year.
Committee secretary/treasurer Jan Lyons said the support from the community while the house had been valued and the fund didn't want to impinge on its generosity so early after the project had been completed.
"We're in the process of organising a fund-raiser for next year, which we're hoping will be a similar format to the TV show Minute to Win It," she said.
"We're obviously still in the planning stages, but we were hoping to do something different.
"For the rest of this year we don't have too much planned because we didn't want to have to be asking people to dip into their pockets again.
"It's been a big couple of years."
JumpStart was established in Leeton in 2003 with an aim of the aiding community members when they needed it most and since then has created a well-known presence in the shire.
Mrs Lyons said residents were always welcome to join the organisation.
"We're always looking for new people ... it's best to contact John Gavel (6953 3863) or myself (0401 459 961)."
