Save+Raise Fundraiser - Urgent Call for Volunteers at the Mildura Show

We are asking parents and Scouts (from all sections) to help with a great fundraising opportunity at the Mildura Show. Unfortunately we require your help during the day THIS Thursday, Friday, Saturday & Sunday. (A big ask, I know)! We will have representatives from Save+Raise Mildura from 10am to 4pm at The Show to help the volunteers promote this FREE offer. If we can have continued parent and Scout help after 4pm and into the evening of the 4 show days, that would be great! This is also a great opportunity to promote Scouting and our Group. The following Wednesday  night at Scouts  (19 October), at about 9pm, a representative  from  Save+Raise Mildura  will explain to all parents and Scouts how this fundraiser works.

On this night, pamphlet will be distributed to all Scout families explaining the Save+Raise promotion.  Save+Raise Mildura will offers residents o

Our next meeting is scheduled for 7.30pm Wednesday 12th October at the Scout Hall.  Minutes to our last meeting were emailed to those on the mailing list. A list of the jobs that need to be completed in and around the Scout hall were also included.  I am currently putting together the battery collection article for school newsletters.  Is there anyone willing to be the contact person?  Please let me know.
