Moorbel Fire brigade’s heartfelt thanks Published Date: 20 Aug 2014 Letter to the editor in the Cowra Guardian Dear Sir/Madam, Moorbel Rural Fire Brigade wishes to thank the Canowindra (and beyond) community for their generosity in fundraising efforts over the last few weeks. As many will be aware the Brigade shed was broken into and set alight destroying everything including the shed, two trucks, tools, clothing and other item including a fridge, eskys and many other smaller items. Whilst the shed and trucks are insured the smaller tools were not (which was a surprise to the brigade). And these fundraising efforts will go a long way towards re-equipping the brigade. We would like to thank many people and organisations including: The Canowindra Players for putting on an extra fundraising show raising about $3,000 at the Services Club. The following organisations who donated to the raffle prizes: Federation Fotos, Belubula Butchery, Lawrences IGA, Barry Burns Garage, The Canowindra Trading Post, Canowindra Post Office, Canowindra Bottle Shop, Canowindra Pharmacy, K&H Interiors, Deli Lama, Services and Citizens Club, Kinselas Farm Supplies, Taste Canowindra and the Canowindra Newsagency. * The Henry Lawson Theatre Company of Werrington (in Western Sydney) for donating $500 * The landholders and community members who have donated money. (We wont mention names here but thank you!) * The NSW Rural Fire Service who quickly organised another truck and have been extremely helpful throughout this process. RM McClintocks for generously donating an esky which will replace one of those stolen. * The Bulli Brigade who have lent us a Cat 1 to cover us in the mean time and Billimari who have loaned us a Cat7. * The SES and Cabonne Council for organising space in their shed for the borrowed truck. * The police who have been very helpful with their on-going investigations * Lastly but certainly not least wed also like to acknowledge and thank Ian Guilot and Robyn Wilkinson who both generously gave of their time in deciding to organise the wonderful fundraiser of which wouldnt of happened without their efforts. We have a great community that have rallied behind us and would welcome any new members to come to our AGM on the 20th of August at 7.00pm at the Services Club. Regards Moorbel Rural Fire Brigade.
