Star shines bright at XMAS CREEK
A big THANK YOU to all the crew in the NW for helping Starlight
I was fortunate enough to be invited up to Xmas Creek
accompanying Tracy Tomlin from the Starlight Foundation
who was to pick up a cheque from the boys and girls from
Crushing Services International. What an experience!
For those of you who have never been to the North West it is
a different world altogether. The vastness of our state is
amazing and the conditions these workers have to contend
with are unbelievable. It really was an eye-opener for this city
slicker. The workers on the CSI Project presented Tracy with
a cheque for $23,500 bringing the total raised by North West
construction workers to $100,000.
This money has gone to help the Starlight Foundation
transform the hospital experience of over 2,687 seriously ill
children, young people and their families, at a time when
they need it most. On behalf of the Starlight Foundation, the
Union and all the families that your generous donations
helped “THANK YOU”. It’s a magnificent effort and you
should be justifiably proud of your achievements.
‘SHREK’ with Tracy Tomlin and Peta Arnold.
