RATTLING UP SOME COMMUNITY SPIRIT

 

Want to meet your neighbours and raise money for a great cause at the same time?

 

The Point Cook CFA brigade is coordinating a "tin rattle" collection for the Good Friday Appeal, and hope to raise community spirit in the process.

 

"We are putting the call out to everyone in Point Cook to doorknock their area, and help raise $15,000 for the Royal Childrens Hospital," said Michael Piscopo from Point Cook CFA.

 

"The appeal ensures that all children with life-threatening illnesses receive the best possible clinical and medical care", he said.

 

"There are a lot of fundraisers for this cause in the Wyndham area, but not much in Point Cook."

 

"So because there are so many new residents in Point Cook we wanted to create someithing that would create a sense of community," he said.

 

The CFA Brigade will be out collecting all day on Good Friday and would like residents and businesses to donate money or their time to this worthy cause.

 

The Good Friday Appeal was first established in 1931, when a group of Herald and Weekly Times Journalists organised a sports carnival in aid of charity.

 

Last year, the appeal raised over $11 million, with fundraising events such as the Easter Egg Hunt and Werribbee Park, through to a Line-Dance-a-thon and golf days.

Motorists urged to take care.
Sunday, 21 October 2007

Over recent months, Point Cook Fire Brigade have attended several car accidents at the intersection of Dunnings Road and Boardwalk Boulevard with the latest occuring this morning where two people had to be extricated from a vehicle.

 

With the construction works progressing around the area, some locations are becoming quite dangerous and will be until such time as the works are completed.

 

Motorists are urged to be even more attentive when approaching construction areas and where there are situations, like at the Dunnings Road and Boarwalk Boulevard intersection, where traffic lights have been installed but are not yet operational.

 

Remember, yours and the lives of others depend on you being alert.
