Projects
In 2019 we presented the Bendigo CFA (Country Fire Authority) with a kids helicopter named ‘Rosie’.
This helicopter is to help keep the kids entertained when the CFA talk to parents about fire safety measures at local school fetes, markets etc.
*Under Victorian legislation, a veteran is someone who has served, or is serving, in the Armed Forces of Australia, or the forces of another Commonwealth country (ie: New Zealand, United Kingdom, India) or Allied (ie: United States of America, France) country. The individual does not need to have seen active/warlike service overseas to meet the definition. Both full-time/regular and part-time/reserve service falls within the criteria.
**In accordance with Branch By-Law’s regarding patriotic welfare funds monies, may only be spent on Veterans & dependants (as defined by the Branch By-Laws).
