Sausage Sausage Sizzle and Bake Stall - Victorian State Election Day
Volunteers Required!
Our campus is a nominated Polling Booth for the upcoming State Election on Saturday 29th November and
the Parents Association are holding a Sausage Sizzle and Bake Stall from 9am - 2pm as a Fundraiser on the
day. We are setting up a roster of a one hour commitment per person to help out on the stall and would love
to hear from parents if you can volunteer your time. Thank you to those who have volunteered already.
We held a similar stall for last year's Federal Election in September and it was a great success. We will be
starting off the morning with bacon and egg muffins, kindly donated by the Kelly Family. Woodfrog Bakery
are again donating bread rolls for the Sausage Sizzle and Hudson Meats will supply the sausages.
We are seeking contributions from the school community for our Bake Stall such as cakes, cupcakes, brown-
ies, muffins and slices. Please ensure that the goods are nut free (including no nut flour) and do not have any fresh dairy
ingredients (such as cream or cream cheese) which require refrigeration. These items would be required to be dropped off at the
school office on disposable plates/containers covered in clear cling wrap on Friday 28th November by 3.45pm. Please label all
ingredients clearly. Please contact Rachael Kelly on 0403 125 461 or [email protected] if you can assist on the
day or if you have any queries regarding the above.
Annual General Meeting The Association's Annual General Meeting will be held next Friday 21st November, 8.45am, in the Cottage. This will be followed by
our normal committee meeting. All are welcome - please contact myself (0408 668 888) or Sue Lester, Secretary (0409 322
