Community groups rally to Red Cross call

By Jim Mynard
VOLUNTEERS are already planning for March Red Cross Calling 2007.
Casey Red Cross Calling reached its $55,000 target this year in difficult circumstances and has set a similar target for next year.
Casey Red Cross Calling chairman Norma McCausland said the team faced a massive task, but supporters kept coming.
“We have a range of community groups and many volunteer callers who will be out and about during March,” she said.
“Nevertheless, we need more callers and I would be pleased to hear on 9707 1576.
“All money collected by volunteers goes to the Red Cross.”
