Bushfire Fundraiser Cruise

[-RBD2-]

hello all SAU users

as we all know there has been some absolutley devastating bushfires in victoria.im particularly close to this tradegy as a i grew up not far from marysville(which is now completely destroyed)

some people have lost everything.and ALL money will be donated to the bushfire appeal.i urge everyone who is available to come down to victor harbor for a drive(can get us looked after at a local down there if we get the numbers up)

its a good cause everyone,please get behind it and show your support.when we get some numbers up we can all suggest a meeting point in or somewhere around town,make a suggestion and the easiest place for all will be where we meet.

if we make it there for lunch i can organise it cheap at a good price and maybe some drink specials if the numbers a decent as well.

i urge all available SAU members to make themselves available on sunday,and lets raise some good coin for the poor buggers who have lost everything.lets put our club out there and be known for doing the right thing instead of people just thinking that we are hoons.

donation per car will be 10 bucks and all proceeds will go to the bushfire appeal

PM me back with RSVP's and meeting point suggestions

thanks SAU

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for helping the bushfire victims, but if this is just another cruise thread for cruises sake or just a ride on the coat tails of the fire victims, then it will be shut down.

This thread will be monitored closely by all the Mods in case it gets out of hand.

What measures have you put in place for the gathering and accounting of all the money collected?

Will a Red Cross rep be there to collect the money raised?

[-RBD2-]

yes there will be ruby,no money will change hands unless its to an authorised donations collector.thanks

[SLED]

OK, I've just liaised with Rodney about this cruise and he has convinced me that it is legit.

His mum will be there to collect all monies who is a qualified person to do so.

Goodluck with it Rod and everyone should support this one.

Skippy, on the other hand, we can't really endorse the ns.com cruise meeting on Anzacs as I've just had a very quick look at it and there are no details on who, what or where the money is to be collected.

Do people know it's illegal to collect money if your are not an authorized person or charity??!

This ns.com cruise just looks like a bunch of kids meeting up at the back of K-Mart for a thrash, hence why I've deleted your post out of this section as it's not related to this cruise.

[BillyE]

SLED, we are a bunch of kids that organised a cruise, from HT.

We have police officers who are members of our kids club, as well as a Justice of Peace (oh thats my bro).

We don't usually have charity cruises (just a few a month) so we don't look after money very well and get it to the right people (see letters of thanks from charity organisations thanking us for the money donated.)

This SAU vs HT shit is dumb, get over it. This is about people who have lost their homes, not what motor is under your nissans hood.

Our cruise is tomorrow at 2pm, starting at K-Mart car park, cops have been notified and official donation tins will be there.

Thanks.

Kids club.

[Jonnyboy89]

uh billy e the ns and now sau nazi! lol no sled i can say that the ns.com cruise is legit, and if the money tins dont look safe ill just donate at a later date

[-RBD2-]

[Stagstock]

Anybody from SAU going on the ns cruise tomorrow? Would be keen to meet up as I don't know anyone from there, might be just me and the dog yet. I've also gotta drive up from victor, so anyone from down south wanting to cruise up to the meet point let me know. Cheers

[-RBD2-]

good call chef

[BillyE]

thanks to all that came down, i was lucky enough to be in a 34 gtr v spec for the cruise.

We raised over 2k, the money tin gets open tomorrow at red cross and i'll have an official receipt for everyone to see. We got so much donations we needed a tupperware container to take more donations, rest assured that I am a trustworthy person and will ensure all this money gets to Red Cross.
