While we are unable to physically start looking at the role clubs can play in fire recovery over the next few months, these post cards may give us a different way of interacting with and supporting our East Gippsland Fire survivors.These packs of postcards have been developed by a lady who lost three family members in the Latrobe Valley fires on Black Saturday. As a way of healing for herself and giving support to communities in fire recovery, she developed the idea of creating packs of 12 postcards which one per month would be sent to a family in the current fire zone.
Could you please contact me at jannespeirs@gmail.com, or on 0409 356 469, if you would like one of these packs either as a club or as an individual. I will then ask the EGRFC committee to give you the address of your personal fire impacted family and for the next twelve months you can send these cards out.
Please consider this - it is a way of still reaching out to our fire survivors at a time when all of us need to be physically isolated, but desperately need social connection.
