What a wonderful bunch of willing and tireless workers we have at Pine Hills Hockey Club.
Did you all enjoy having a rest on Monday? Hope so because there was plenty of work for those of you who were ready to roll your sleeves up on Saturday and Sunday.
Early on Saturday a small but eager crew trundled out the garbage bins, put legs on tables, set up the chairs and slotted flags in all the corner post-holes at Downey Park while another crew trundled out goal nets and sizzled sausages at Rasey Park. Some of the same workers then joined another bunch of Happy Hillsers putting their retail skills to good use manning the Cake Stall and doing the rounds of the fields selling Raffle Tickets. Later in the day, there they were again putting it all away. What a team.
Of course it couldn't be done without all the cheerful efforts of those who put in the extra hours on Thursday and Friday by staying up late doing baking, going out to find special articles for the Raffle or putting in extra miles to get goods to the field in time. Well done everyone.
Other clubs will have the joy of doing this service for us over the rest of the season and we will happily put the $872 raised on the day towards some new goal gear. And that was just Saturday.
See our Facebook page for photos of all the hard workers at the Anaconda Sausage Sizzle on Sunday. Some of the same faces and same rolled up sleeves turned out again and joined a fresh crew for what looks like another lot of laughs and stimulating exercise. We have yet to collate the income but $650 seems possible. Well done - you are worth your weight in sausages.
So dear workers - If you were a supplier of goods, manpower, muscles, time, energy, money, or a friendly face, if you helped out in any way over the weekend, Thank you - you did your club proud and most likely you had a great time too. And whatever you did, whenever or where - the fact that you did something, means everything.
