Give Generously

I received this heartfelt request via email this morning, and just knew I had to share with you all as I know that you too would want to assist in any way possible

Collingwood flood victims need assistance - Please Give Generously

Torrential rain hit Collingwood in the early hours of last night.

Victims were seen wandering around aimlessly, flannies soaked, woollen trackies sagging, muttering 'Faaackinell'.

Flood waters devastated the area causing approximately $30 worth of damage.

Three areas of historic burnt out cars were disturbed. Many locals were woken well before their Centrelink cheques arrived.

The Collingwood Herald reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered and were still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Smith St ..

One resident - Tracy Maree Sharon Britney Madonna Smith, a 15-year-old mother of 5 said 'It was such a shock, my little daughter Chardonnay-Mercedes came running in to my bedroom crying. My youngest two Joachim and River slept through it all.'

Apparently, looting, muggings and car crime were unaffected and carried on as normal.

The Australian Red Cross has so far managed to ship 4,000 crates of Bacardi-Breezers to the area to help the stricken locals. Rescue workers are still searching through the rubble and have found large quantities of personal belongings, including Health Care Cards, Jewellery from Kmart and Bone China from Big W.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

This appeal is to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in this disaster. Clothing is most sought after - items most needed include: flannelette Shirts, tight blue jeans or spandex, singlets (blue & white) white sport socks, Ugg boots and any other items usually sold in Priceline or The Reject Shop.

Food parcels may be harder to come by, but are needed all the same.
Required foodstuffs urgently needed include: Microwave meals, Baked Beans, Ice cream, Chips, Fizzy drinks.

Donations of $ 25.00 will be taken to buy a packet of Winny blue 25s and a lighter to calm the nerves of those affected.

GIVE GENEROUSLY !!!

yeah, I got that of a Carlton supporter yesterday. I've been having fun with them lately.

Our Comms manager is a Calrton support, she sent out a calender of events for the year asking for input.

I wrote back and suggested she mark down in September for Carlton to get knocked out of the finals in week 1 .......again. And to make a note for October for Collingwood to win it's second successive premiership.

My Boss is also a Carlton supporter. He forgot his password to one of our systems that I'm an admin for, so I reset it for him to Magpies2011

But back to the appeal. yep, it was nice of that Calrton supporter to let me know about this.

Tell me about your likes and dislikes? Nice of that Calrton supporter to let him or her know about this too.

True Hal, I think they should say "see you later" to anyone who suggests a Levy!

Cheers

Goodbye.
