Our first Major Fund
Raiser to kick off 2007 forming a part of the Colac Otway Shire's
official Australia Day Celebrations at the Memorial Square in Colac.
The
day started with Laurie & Blake setting up the van to broadcast the
festivities live to air. Noel, John & Bob Dalton setting up the
"JaiL" and Tell, Lakeisha & Maree setting up the rest of the
display.
Our sincere thanks to the very good spirited
bunch of celebrity prisoners who took part in the fund raising efforts
:
Henry Bongers - BDH Constructions
Frank DeLorenzo - The Foot Man
Rosemary Muller - Local Legend!
Terry Woodcroft - from the local constabulary
John Hayden - AKD
Ros Robinson - our illustrious Presenter of news and all things interviewable
Noel Mitaxa - our illustrious President and master of the "One-Liner"
Not to mention...... well OK we
will anyway ...... those under House Arrest the week preceeding the big
day, owing to being unable to participate on the day :
Warren Riches - The Mayor
Tracey Slatter - Colac Shire CEO
Jock Brady - Colac Otway Regional Advocacy Service
Bruce Lawson - Editor of Colac Herald
A frenzy of phone calls, some
desperate fence clinging, begging and shameless threats to the passing
public reaped an incredible tally in excess of $5,000!!! And one lucky
sponsor/new member will be drawn this week to win a night's
accommodation for two at the fantastic Cumberland Resort in Lorne.
Our
sincere thanks also to our sponsors for the event :
