Dear Auxiliary members and friends,
The quilt made by the Remnants Craft Group which was donated as a fund raiser for our Fire Brigade will be raffled at "Christmas in July" this Saturday. We would love to sell more tickets please. They are available at Workin' Clobber in Hurstbridge and from Lois (9714 8447) or me (9714 8270).
Thanks
Gayle

Things of interest
Dear Auxiliary members and friends,
It was really good to see so many at last night's meeting and pizza night.
I'm attaching a flier with a scan of the quilt that we discussed last night. Kay has kindly agreed to sell tickets at Workin' Clobber so can you please support the raffle by buying your tickets there or collect a book of tickets from Kay or Lois to sell yourselves.
The Remnants Craft Group made two quilts last year - one for us and one for Dixons Creek and members are interested in being kept up to date with its progress. Dixons Creek had a "blind auction" and raised $1000 - Fergusson Winery won it and now have it on display. Half that amount would be really nice!
David has asked me to let you know that it looks like the Brigade is getting a new vehicle to replace Tanker 1 hopefully before the end of the year. The vehicle is a 3.4D crew cab. This four wheel drive vehicle holds 3500 litres of water compared with our present truck's 2000 litres. This state of the art truck is currently at Caroline Springs.

National Volunteer Week Morning Tea - Tuesday 11 May
Dear all,
We have had an invitation from Danielle Green to attend a morning tea to celebrate National Volunteer Week on Tuesday 11 May, 10.30 a.m. - 12 noon at the Arthurs Creek Hall.
The only catch is that we have been asked to do the catering for the morning tea!! Danielle's office thinks there may be between 30 and 40 people come along and as it is at the Hall it shouldn't be took difficult.
So - if you would like to come as a guest could you please let me know by Thursday so as I can respond on your behalf. If you would be available to help on the morning could you please let me know. We shouldn't need more than a few of us. Food-wise we are thinking of sandwiches, scones (jam and cream) and fruit scones. I can make sandwiches but would really like (or should I say need) help with the scones please.
As usual - thanks.
Gayle

Catering for Porsche Club Family Day on Sunday 18 April
Hi all,
Just a message to fill you in on what is required for the Porsche Club Family Day Catering on Sunday, 18 April.
At this stage, it looks like we will be catering for approx. 60 adults and 30 children – that is yet to be confirmed. They will be arriving at Ryders Reserve at around 12.30 for lunch.
They would like – sandwiches, quiche or similar, sausages in bread (Mike has volunteered to help with these), cakes and scones, lemon cordial (I will make) and tea and coffee. They are hoping to get a coffee cart which they will let me know about and this might then drop off the tea and coffee. As well as the lemon cordial, they want some cans of coke which I thought, we might sell to whoever wants these – not sure on that. I think some icy poles for the kids might be a good idea too. They will be paying us $15 per adult and I don’t recall working out a price for children but will work that out with Janet from the Porsche Club who I have been communicating with. Janet had also suggested inviting the local children to join in on this day but I’m not sure how to handle that as that would affect catering and we don’t want a bigger job. The only option I had thought of was that they bring a plate to share??
The bad news is that neither Gayle nor I will be able to do this one. I will be able to cook but not be able to be there on the day – sorry.
It would be good to get an indication of who might be available to help on this day, and who would be able to help with food. If you can help in any way, can you please let me know?
Thanks,
Lois

Catering Job
Dear Auxiliary and Friends,
We have been asked if we would like to cater for a lunch on Wednesday 10 March at the Strathewen Community Centre. There is a bus load of people who are touring the Bushfire areas around here including visiting Malcolm Hackett's property. They are from Catchment Management Authority, Melbourne Water and Parks Vic. About 50 people
Seeing as we have had a fairly quiet time of late we thought it would be a good idea to accept.
So if you are available to help by making sandwiches, baking scones or cakes, or cutting up fruit please let me know. We will also need a little help on the day please.
Our next meeting will be held the evening after our catering job - Thursday 11 March, 8.00 p.m. at the Arthurs Creek Fire Station.
Thanks
Gayle

If you are available that day we would appreciate some help with some of the following - setting up, cooking, serving, packing up. Please let me know if you can help.
Also our turn collecting entrance money at the Hurstbridge Farmers' Market is on Sunday, 6 December. Again please let me know if you are available for either the early (7.30 a.m.) or second (10.30 a.m.) shift.
Many thanks.

Auxiliary - Food Safety; Get-together
Dear Auxiliary Members and Friends,
Food Safety - for everyone who did the Food Safety course at Mill Park (Level 1 and Level 2) there is an opportunity to complete the work place component of the course on Thursday 8 October, 9.00 a.m. at the Arthurs Creek Fire Station. Robin Alford has the necessary qualifications to lead us through the practical session and has been given the OK by CFT International Pty Ltd to check us out. Please bring your paperwork. If you can't make it on that day we will arrange another time for you to have a chat with Robin.
Get-together - we realised recently that we had not got together as a group since spending so much time together after the fires. So on Friday 9 October, 7.00 p.m. we have decided to have dinner (pizza, salad, bits and pieces) and a drink or two at the Fire Station. We can talk about the fires or not talk about the fires - whatever we feel like at the time! This is not just for Auxiliary members - it is for everyone who contributed with catering, logistics, shopping, holding hands, being there for someone.
Can you please contact those you know are not on email then get back to me with numbers by lunch time on Wednesday 7 October so I can order the food and drinks.
Regards
Gayle
