RALLYING of resources by the locals amounted to an impressive tally of four fruit bins worth of clothing, and extra supplies in the boot. These resources were recently transported to communities in need suffering losses from the recent bushfires which tore through Northern Country and Northeastern Victoria. The donations were gratefully received by the Longwood Football and Netball Club.

LENDING A HAND… Nurses from Community Health @ GV Health came in to help the organising efforts. Pictured from left: Lisa Llewelyn, Ally Deeroy,
