==== Shire of Mundaring COVID-19 Vaccination Register ====
As was recently communicated, the WA Chief Health Officer has made a direction that all emergency service workers, including volunteers, must be vaccinated from the 1st of January (with a second dose required by the 2nd of February). To facilitate this direction, the Shire of Mundaring has requested that all bushfire volunteers submit evidence of their vaccination status to enable a register to be completed.

Members are asked to send a copy of their COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate to [[vbfbvaxstatus@mundaring.wa.gov.au]]. Certificates may be downloaded from the [[https://my.gov.au|MyGov website]]. A restricted set of Shire officers will record the relevant details for each member and delete their copy of the certificate.

Anyone who is not comfortable with sending this information may make alternative arrangements to submit their certificates.

**If you have not provided this information to the Shire before the deadline (1st of January), you will not be permitted to attend the station, incidents, or other DFES sites.**

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact [[Captain@SawyersValley.bfb.asn.au|Adrian]].

==== Christmas Party and Brigade Photo – Monday, 27th December ====
[[http://wiki.sawyersvalley.bfb.asn.au/_media/newsletters:christmas_party_invitation.pdf|Attached]] is an invitation for members and their families to attend this year’s Christmas Party, which will be held at the Station on Monday, 27th December. Can you please RSVP to [[Secretary@SawyersValley.bfb.asn.au|Vicki]] - 0407 831 315, by Friday 17th December.

Generally, the Christmas function is well attended and with this in mind it would be a great opportunity for brigade photos. If members could be at the station promptly at 1730 hours, we can get the photos done and dusted and settle down to enjoy the remainder of the evening. Photo dress standard - Fire fighters PPE; Station Crew SV shirts and pants.
