==== Parky Big Relief Fundraiser ====
We have received $9,141.10, which is our share of the funds raised at the Parky Big Relief Fundraiser held back in March of this year. This item is on the June agenda for discussion however, members are asked to give some thought into how to use these funds. Some suggestions so far include donating all or part of the funds to those directly impacted by the Wooroloo fires; installing a water tank at the Station; developing an outdoor area at the back of the Station and a birthday bash to celebrate the Brigade turning 60 this year.
