2012 SAUSAGE SIZZLE AT BUNNINGS

April 28th

ALL WELCOME

 

 Chris Bowers, the man from Bunnings, Frank Hindley and Des Young

2011 SAUSAGE SIZZLE

 Last year’s major fundraising event at Bunnings Rosebud.

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,

Bill Eagle, Arthur Hicowe, Frank Hindley, Margaret Hindson, Con Mullen, Bernie Poll, Leon Riley and Des Young. Bev Baker provided me with back-up assistance and the Bunnings staff  were very helpful too.

The team effort clocked up 50 volunteer hours
