Putting the
"fun" back into Fundraising was not too difficult on Saturday August
15th when a team of toilers from the Esk Community Choir came together at
Bunnings in Toowoomba to feed the hungry
masses with well over 70 kilos of sausages, bread by the truckload, oodles of
onions and a song in their hearts.
There is something
alluring about the aroma of sizzling sausages and onions that tempts even the
virtual vegetarian to the Bunnings Sausage Tent and this day was no
exception. With careful choreography
around a small space allowing for accuracy and efficiency of movement, Roland
Cox's brilliant preparation paddles playing a significant role in this, the conga
line of customers were catered for faster than Wonder Woman can deflect
bullets!!
Even before the sauce had time to settle on
unsuspecting items of clothing, many were returning for seconds, due in
large to the most mouth-watering
sausages provided by our own Damien
FitzGerald's 'BOUTIQUE MEATS' and for these and his continual support of the
Choir's endeavours, we are continually grateful. Thanks too must go to those of the Choir who
were unable to man the marquee on the day but whose onion chopping efforts
proved invaluable.
Though weary and
worn, workers went home full of the joys of a successful day, both financially
and socially. Funds raised amounted to
just under $2,000.00...a brilliant effort by Sue and Roland Cox and all those
who gave of their time and energy for this Overseas Tour 2016 fundraiser.
