Illawarra Flyers Bushfire Appeal

[Bruce Robbins]

The Victorian Bushfire Appeal 2009

 

[imgalign=right]http://www.theaviatorlounge.com.au/images/bushfire/bushfire01.jpg[/imgalign]On Friday 27th February, 2009, The Illawarra Flyers are using their weekly Friday afternoon BBQ to raise funds for the Australian Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal.

 

Dick Smith has been invited to attend (and will arrive in style in his Augusta helicopter) to give his views on the future for sport and general aviation in Australia.

 

During the evening we will be conducting an auction of items donated by local businesses and individuals. The items range from bottles of wine to joy flights in the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society's Lockheed Constellation, dinner vouchers to aviation memorabillia.

 

Any-one wishing to support the auction and unable to attend, can place a bid at any time with our auctioneer for the night, Ray Peterson, either by phone on 0417 211 092 or by an email to [email protected]. Ray is already accepting bids. There is complete truth in the rumour that Ray is totally corruptible and will accept the highest bid on any item to ensure that you secure the one you want!

 

We urge you to have a look at the magnificent list of donated items at www.theaviatorlounge.com.au/bushfire/index.html

 

The Illawarra Flyers are a group of aircraft owners, pilots, aviation enthusiasts, businesses and employees based at the Illawarra Regional Airport. We are charging ourselves $20 per head to attend the night and ALL proceeds go straight to the Red Cross.

 

Thanks,

 

Bruce

 

ps: Sorry for the saturation cover, but we figure it's a good cause.
