Dave R. has organised a wood raffle for the 28th at the Mundaring Shopping Centre. Volunteers will be needed to sell tickets throughout the day. A roster will be drawn up to that people only need to dedicate an hour or so. Anecdotally fund-raising around the Mundaring Shopping Centre can be very successful, so this should be worth investing a bit of effort into.

The Annual Volunteer Bushfire Brigade Street Appeal is on Friday the 18th of May. This has been a fantastic fund-raising activity for the brigade, and a great way of meeting volunteers from other brigades across the Bush Fire Service. Please indicate your interest in attending by emailing Michelle, or fill out the sign-up sheet in the station. The appeal will run from 07:00 until 18:00, and is centred around the Hay Street and Murray Street Malls.
