Bushfire Appeal

[FineLine]

I posted this in our qld section, What are the chances of all states doing something similar on the same day. A coordinated multi state effort should see some good results for the poor buggas.

In light of the horror unfolding in victoria as I type I am proposing cruise to raise funds to help the poor buggas left behind to deal with the fallout.

The western whale watchers cruise will take place on sunday the 22nd of feb.

Staging point will be at woolly's/macca's carpark at yamanto, departure time will be 8.30 sharp.

Cruise duration will be advertised when I get some feed back as to how long you guys wish to drive for.

There will be a food vendor at the cruise destination and i will be hitting him up for a dontation of some of his profit garnered by our presence.

Cruise donation of 10 dollars per car will be the price and if any members have contacts a couple of worthwhile raffle prizes wouldnt go astray. any further donations will be gratefull accepted.

Funds will go to the red cross bushfire appeal.

Im game,

perhaps we could have a eat a thon with their big ass steak, like a walk a thon you get sponsered per kilo you can down instead of per k you walk

they already got a thing happening here at the asc for it and the comp is matching every dollar we donate

ill pass around a bucket on the night, you deposit whatever you can afford, im not going to set a "minimum". might ask around at other tables as well if appropriate.

[Krishy]

here is an idea damo...

you could get the mawson lakes hotel to match ever dollar that we donate by passing around the bucket!

[Damo_R34]

im ringing them soon, ill ask!

Red Cross is also after extra blood - I know several of us gave blood less than 3 months ago but they might make an exception in this case - could possibly help if we get more folks? Anyone keen to organize? Andrew?

-D

EDIT - Must be a shitload of people volunteering because their hotline has been engaged for the last 30 minutes. Will keep trying and find out if we can get a date at modbury again.

the people that donate with sau are only a few weeks off due anyways, so id say theyd be alright with that.
