Volunteers Morning Tea
17th December 2009
The Foundation volunteers were treated to a morning tea by means of a thank you from the Foundation.
Chairman Arthur Marshall thanked the volunteers from the Foundation and the Board of Directors and stressed how invaluable that they all are.
Mr Marshall talked at length about the various roles covered by the volunteers from distributing tins to helping out at our major functions such as the Mandurah Island Challenge and the Dinner Auction. They are a tremendous asset to the Foundation and we are privileged to have such a dedicated and talented group of people tirelessly supporting the Foundations efforts in fundraising for the children’s ward.
Many of the volunteers have been with us since the start and it is rewarding to see that they are still with us as we approach the time when we will open the new paediatric ward.

Items that attracted most attention were 2 beautiful diamond sapphire rings valued at over $2000 each, a wonderful holiday package by Skywest and Pot Shot Resort Exmouth, and a helicopter ride in Ralph Sarich’s private helicopter.Bidding for these items was intense and entertaining.
The evening raised over $20,000 for the Peel Health Campus Foundation.

Plenty of giveaways and spot prizes added to the fun of the festivities. Radar Luttrell, long term supporter and associate of the Foundation joined Dave in an impromptu double act which was a joy to behold.
