Sau Bushfire Appeal Dinner

[Damo_R34]

A big change from what i previously posted. Steve (MADAZ) has called me with an idea.

We will be contacting the Mawson Lakes Hotel (venue non-negotiable, chosen due to accessibility and parking) and speaking to them about hiring their function room for a night in early March. We are going to go around the the local businesses that support SAU and vice versa, to ask if they would like to donate, and if they do, invite them along to the dinner. The Advertiser / channel 9 will also be contacted to either provide a story or coverage of the event in their relative media, which will be great advertisement for the Mawson Lakes Hotel, SAU and the Business Traders who often save our asses week in, week out.

Steve and I are also looking for a few volunteers who can help with organising, or have any contacts for Business Traders who want to donate. Donations may be in the form of cash, or in products, as we can raffle off or have an auction on the night, all proceeds going to victims of the current Victoria Bushfires of course. PM me if your up for donating some time and effort into the event.

The date for the event will be announced as soon as we settle more details, most likely Tuesday or Wednesday night.

There are alot of natural disasters happening in the world almost monthly, but when Australia has a disaster that will more than likely double the death toll of Ash Wednesday, Australians can and will support those who have lost Cars, Homes, Friends and Family.

I will try and help out as much as i can damo

but if you could hold the dinner thing on a wednesday then it would be great champ

[scandyflick]

[Madaz]

Thanks Damo bit hard for me to always post at work

any and all help will be greatly appreciated

there will be a donation fee for non business's to attend yet to be confirmed but in leaning towards $10/ head for normal people and $50 for business traders

this thread will discuss idea's for a little bit

[ontheranch]

Let me know if you need any assistance. Keen to help out.

[skylineguy19]

definately keen to help out where i can. Happy to approach some businesses i know and maybe even my work. Might be an idea to get something in writing to take around to businesses, rather than us just rocking up and telling them, give them something to read.

Great idea guys, could be some great exposure for all involved and a great chance to help out those that have lost so much through the fires.

A good idea for eveyones workplace is a casual friday.... Gold coin or more donation...

Im getting onto that right now

[Minibats]

Just uploaded a pic from a friend of mine so we all get somewhat of an idea if we havent already.

This is her parents backyard.. the only thing that saved them was the river directly behind them so it acted as a break and a resource for the fire crews

[Luke_ENR34]

Thats crazy, Sorry for all those people who have passed away and good luck to those fighting the fire.

I'll be there for the dinner and cruises with a donation.

[Madaz]

aw thanks Luke and thanks others for all support
