Underbool Swimming Pool Funding Submission

Request for support for our funding application for our new Underbool Swimming Pool

As some of you may be aware, our community were unsuccessful in our previous submission for our new swimming pool facility. We are now applying for the next round of funding .

Our current pool was built by the community many many years ago and it’s vital we keep advocating for funding to ensure our amazing pool stays in our community.

What I’m seeking for the submission is photos from the community capturing our pool through the eras - Social events, swimming carnivals, swimming training, bushfire periods, lifeguard training and anything that will tell the story through history. If there is photos of various age groups that would be even more amazing for our submission.

We would need permission to share the photos with the funding body (from you), so if anyone has anything they would like to share send via email cassey.gloster@mildura.vic.gov.au.

We are also needing personal ‘letters of support’ from anyone in the community (all age groups). It can be a letter written by anyone who values our facility.

Thank you

CFA News
GREAT NEWS!!!

The Underbool CFA have been successful in their latest attempt at getting an ULTRA LIGHT Ute for the CFA under the VESEP Grant. This is the third year that the Underbool CFA has applied, and we are very excited that the application has been successful! A huge thank you to our BASO Noela Barker for her persistence in continuing to submit our paperwork and we look forward to this valuable community asset!! As these vehicles undergo a purpose built fit out it will be some time before it is parked in the shed, its arrival date could be well into the future but it's all systems go so as volunteers we are definitely moving in the right direction.

 

Thank you  Captain Cameron Gloster
