Australia Day committee seeks
volunteers
Crows Nest Australia Day
Committee chairman Paul
Fleming is putting the call out
for community members who
would like to help organise the
annual celebration.
Mr Fleming, pictured, is looking
for other like-minded people
to volunteer to help with the running
of the Australia Day festivities.
“The commitment involved
includes about four meetings a
year and helping out on Australia
Day itself,” he said.
“The committee runs the
Crows Nest Country Music Festival
proceeds from which support
the Australia Day function.”
FOUR MEETINGS A YEAR and HELP on AUSTRALIA DAY
Mr Fleming has been involved
with the group for about eight
years and said it was a great way
to celebrate the achievements of
local community members.
He said the committee had
held fundraising events in the
past like a charity supper before
starting the country music festival.
“The money raised from the
fundraising efforts of the volunteers
goes towards entertainment,
advertising and food for
the January 26 celebrations,” Mr
Fleming said.
“Australia Day is about celebrating
what Australia stands for
and the outstanding efforts from
our community.
“Being involved with the
Crows Nest Australia Day Committee
is a great way to meet new
people in the Crows Nest area.”
If you are interested in joining
the Crows Nest Australia Day
Committee, phone Mr Fleming
on 4698 1056.
