GLSC to repay RFDS for its stand on 'Undies' |
Goldfields
Staff will be running a sausage sizzle and raffles at
Bunnings’ store in
Organiser and spokesperson Trish Ranger from the GLSC is
urging the city’s residents to turn out in their droves.
‘The RFDS is a great cause at the best of times. This time
it’s specially worthy because of the courageous stand it took against racism
last February when it turned its back on the money raised by the tainted
Undies 500 car rally.
“This Sunday will be our way of saying thank you to the
RFDS, on behalf of Aboriginal people and the majority of the Goldfields
community who believe these things are important,” said Ms Ranger.
As well as delicious hot sausages with a selection of sauces
and cold drinks, there’ll be two raffles: one for a giant food hamper,
including toiletries; and a second for a wheelbarrow full of gardening and
handyman tools, valued at more than $400.
All raffle goodies and food for the sausage sizzle were
generously donated by Goldfields businesses, including: Woolridge
