+==== Wood Raffle 28th of April ====
+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. Special thanks to Graeme for organising the trailer load of wood for the raffle.
+Please contact [[mailto:daveyourphotoguy@yahoo.com.au|Dave R.]] or [[mailto:Secretary@SawyersValley.bfb.asn.au|Michelle]] with your availability to assist. Currently we have a gap in the roster between 12:00 and 14:00, so please try and make yourself available to fill this.
+==== Ken Wyatt visit - 28th April ====
+The Honourable Ken Wyatt, Federal Member for Hasluck, will be visiting our brigade on Saturday the 28th of April, from 9:00. Unfortunately this clashes with the Firewood Raffle, however it is hoped that after a brief tour of our station, Ken will take the opportunity to call in at the Raffle and show his support. All members are encouraged to take this opportunity to meet and spend time with our local Member of Federal Parliament.
+==== Annual Street Appeal - 18th May ====
+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.
+The more members we have attending the street appeal, the greater our share of the takings will be. Interested members need to RSVP to [[mailto:Secretary@SawyersValley.bfb.asn.au|Michelle]] before this Friday (27th).
