My god.....

My thoughts are with all those affected. We have a lot of members living in affected areas, I hope no AROCA members have been touched by this awful tragedy.

I contacted Jim Nielsen today, he's OK.

I see Ray is posting, so he's also OK.

As the club was looking for a good cause to donate some money to, I'm going to suggest that the current bushfire relief fund would be more than worthy on Wednesday night.

Cheers

Barry,
let us (the interstate club's Presidents) know what you come up with as i am sure you will receive additional financial contributions from interstate.

Many interstate members will have visited some of these places whilst on holidays etc and some of us 'ex pat Mexicans' unfortunately know a lot of close friends that are feeling the pain right now and need to do something.

This is awful what there happening!

I watch Estonian TV news and this is very frightful that Australia is burning.

Over 130 people is dead and over 700 households is burned to the ground.

This is very,very awful.

I hope that everything going fine and fire ending!
Be strong there!

All the best!

If you do your shopping at Coles, save it for this Friday as they will be donating the profits from their 750 national stores to the Bush Fire Appeal.

See link below, and pass this onto other friends and family.
