Victorian Bushfires Benefit Concert

We were very shocked and saddened by the Victorian bushfires that happened a few weeks ago. About two hundred lives were lost and hundreds of homes were destroyed also.

On Sunday the 15th we had a benefit concert for the victims of the fires.  I am very happy to report that almost $1700 was raised, a remarkable effort given the short notice for both performers and audience.

I would like to thank Crowd Around Choir, the Mudlarks and the members of Joyful Noise who were able to attend.  Thanks also to the choir directors, Kate and Alison, the Hazelbrook Uniting Church and the generous community of the Mid Mountains.  Well done everyone.
