Community leaders, Noosa personalities and local business owners will gather at a gala dinner at the Peregian Surf Club on Saturday 5 September to help raise funds for a renovated fire station to house a brand new fire truck for Verrierdale Rural Fire Brigade.
The dinner is organised by the Peregian Family and Friends in conjunction with the Verrierdale Rural Fire Brigade and marks twelve months since the devastating Peregian fires.
“Our community has never taken our local professional and volunteer firefighters for granted but role that these men and women played to protect us all will long be remembered,” Peregian Family and Friends secretary Leigh McCready said.
“The fire has certainly galvanised our local community and this dinner is our way of thanking those involved while raising important funds for a shed to house the new truck for the Verrierdale Fire Brigade.
“We are also thrilled to have three inspiring guest speakers talking to us on the night. Matt Golinski is the celebrated Advisory Executive Chef at Peppers Noosa Resort & Spa and Regional Food Ambassador. Peppers have kindly donated a weekend away for two for the fundraiser auction.”Other speakers include Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart who has her own inspiring story about overcoming adversity and the strength of the human spirit and Noosa Fire Station Officer Rob Frey who was on the frontline of the fires at Peregian last year.
Local businesses have railed to support the event with a number of raffle prizes and auction items up for grabs on the night, including a personal chef experience from Michael Hehir at Capelli Foods and a Concept Plan including site visit from award-winning architect Dan Sparks at Sparks Architects.
Tickets are $179 per person and includes a three course dinner, drinks and live music.
