Events will include lunch, a lucky ticket draw, the NSW Rural Fire Service Association (RFSA) mobile shop, live music, jumping castle and other activities for the kids; and it is free for members of the NSW RFS and their families.
RFSA President Tim Arnott said the family day is a great way to show their appreciation to volunteers.
“Both 2013 and 2014 to date have been very busy years and the RFS members in the region and surrounds are an extraordinary group of people who have faced extremely hazardous situations and selflessly given up their time to protect the community around them,” Mr. Arnott said.
“And at such times, it is often their families who miss out, so these days provide an opportunity to spend some quality family time together, have a chat to fellow NSW RFS members and to also have some fun.
“Members of the RFS Critical Incident Support Team and RFS Chaplains Ian and Kerry Spall, will be in attendance on the day should anyone want to have a chat or need that bit of support.
“The kids will have things to keep them amused and the RFSA team will be there on the day to welcome you.
“It’s our way of supporting our Members and saying ‘thank you’ to them.”
The event will run from 11am to 3pm at the centre on Mount View Road. RSVP by Friday, July 18 to Victoria Hood on 02 4722 2122 or victoria. hood@rfsa.org.au.
