Remember Ash Wednesday? And how generous people were to help us who live in and around this area? Well, here's a chance to do something practical in return. The Australian Red Cross is running an Appeal for the bushfire victims. You can make a secure online donation here.

If you'd rather do this by phone then Freecall 1800 811 700 from anywhere within Australia to make a credit card donation.

You can also send a cheque or money order to: GPO Box 2957 Melbourne VIC 8060 (please indicate which appeal or activity you would like your donation to go towards).
