SAUSAGE SIZZLE AT BUNNINGS

 This year’s major fundraising event at Bunnings Rosebud raised $1070.40 nett.

There were fewer people around than last year (when our profit was $910) and the strong gusty wind constantly threatened to remove our shelter, so this was a pleasing result given the circumstances.

We are grateful for the donations of bread we received from Baked in Blairgowrie and Bakers Delight in Port Phillip Plaza and for a $40 gift card from Coles Supermarket in Port Phillip Plaza. The sausage from Peninsula Bulk Meats was of good quality and the service was excellent.

Natasha Wicks once again proved a tower of strength, particularly in slicing 15kg of onions, no mean feat!  My thanks to her and to everyone else who worked so tirelessly for our Society. -  Robert Barnes, Wayne Bastow, Ian & Chris Bowers,

The team effort clocked up 50 volunteer hours
