Picnic raises $6000 for Red Cross
A PERFECT day greeted visitors to the Waratah Red Cross’ beach walk and picnic on the spectacular property Maitland, owned by Ross and Sue Svenson, recently.
More than 200 people enjoyed lunch in the sunshine and walked along the beach to Grinder Point.
The day was successful, raising more than $6000. The usual high standard of salads, exotic sausages and delicious slices, combined with the pleasure of meeting up with friends, made for a happy occasion.
Numerous raffles were held and many local people, including Red Cross members donated generously to the prizes.
Sponsors included Ahearns Fresh Food Foster, Bunnings of Wonthaggi, Bear Gully Nurseries, Café KO Fish Creek, Cavity Venus Bay, Cape View Tarwin Lower, Fish Creek Hotel, Moos at Meeniyan, Organic Hair and Beauty Salon Tarwin Lower, Waratah Hills Winery and Waratah Lodge. A painting and a signed children’s book were also generously donated towards the raffle.
