Thanks for donations and time

The Guardian

MAY I, through your paper, thank all the members of the general public of the Swan Hill and surrounding area that assisted in the Swan Hill Fire Brigade Auxiliary with donations of cake, slices, biscuits, fresh fruit and in some cases their time when we supplied lunches for up to 150 people for 18 days for the defence forces.

This was a huge task for our small group and without everyone’s help it would have been much harder for us to achieve.

Once again many thanks for your help, it was greatly appreciated.
