Morwell and District Red Cross

This month saw Morwell and District Red Cross participate in the Latrobe City Council Volunteers Expo in the forecourt of Gippsland Performing Arts Centre in Traralgon. It was a fabulous day of networking with other volunteer groups as well as meeting wonderful members of the community and spreading the word about our wonderful Trauma Teddies. Our lifesized Teddies even made an appearance.

Our Spring has Sprung Fundraiser is coming up on Wednesday September 11, 2024 at 1:30pm. It will be held at Yinnar and District Memorial Hall, so if you are into fabulous fashion come join us for a Postie Social Styling Show. $10 entry (includes afternoon tea and entry into the raffle). Proceeds from the day will go to the 2024 Australian Red Cross Overseas Project, Cruz Vermelha de Timor-Leste (CVTL).

At our monthly meeting we had a guest speaker from Latrobe Community Health who had a chat about the Care Finders Gippsland Program. Team Leader David Oyinloye, who is a social worker with nine years experience, gave an in depth insight in to how Care Finders help the vulnerable and older people access aged care services. Our next meeting will be held at the Yinnar and District Memorial Hall at 1:30pm on August 7. As always, we welcome new members, so if this sounds like you, come and join in the fun.
