Today was our opportunity to host and thank some of the team from the St Vincent's Lismore Hospital. The Staff and Management have donated over $131,700 through workplace giving donations from their pay and other event support. For those who may have followed our Service back in the early days, we once had a base at St Vincent's where our aircraft could land in 1983 (attached photo). With a shared history we simply can't thank St Vincent's Lismore enough for their continued support and for visiting our base in South Lismore today.

Our thanks go to the Braunstone Wigging Out event which is a community-driven fundraiser held in Braunstone (near Grafton in the Clarence Valley). The event where participants wear their favourite wigs to raise money helps support local charities, community groups, and emergency services. Pictured is Sharon Lentfer from the events committee with our Grafton Volunteer Support Group chair Revee West, donating $2,000. Our Support Group helped by cooking and serving food on the night of the event and we give our appreciation to everyone involved for helping us to save lives.
