SWIM BETWEEN THE FLAGS!!!

Thank-you! Mouth-to-Mouth at The Oxford a Big Hit!

A BIG BIG thank-you to everyone that made our MOUTH to MOUTH fund-raiser last Saturday a HUGE success - the venue was packed with supporters and Lifesavers! Thank-you to you all for your support in making it our most enjoyable and successful event ever! Everyone had a fantastic time dancing to Sydney's best DJ's who had donated their time - Dan Murphy, Alex Taylor and Jimmy Dee. Then at midnight, Joyce Maynge showed how to swim between sharks and lifesavers, and the lifesaver boys gave the crowd a taste of their famous best-in-show routine. Many thanks also to The Oxford Hotel for kindly making the space available! It has been a big help towards running our Mardi Gras 2011 entry!

Thank-you!

There will be a beach carnival, surf tournament, BBQ and two big parties featuring Bob Downe amongst many other artists. My mate Todd is running it and would love as many lifesavers as possible to attend and hopefully do a repeat performance of the parade number when the amazing singer Tania Doko performs the song "Can you feel it" and also have a strong presence as Lifesavers with Pride. Come on, pull your speedos back on, tie up your red and yellow caps, pop on your white vans and a big smile and 5, 6, 7, 8 and away we go!!!!!!!!!

So there you have it! Plenty of reason to get involved and have an amazing weekend on the beach to get the season started in more way than one!

Hold the Dates! What a start to Summer we have planned for you!

Hi Fellow Lifesavers,

Your Lifesavers with Pride Committee is back in planning mode for some events for the new patrolling season and for the summer.

HOLD THESE DATES!

So, please hold these dates:

Saturday, 13 November. Mouth to Mouth a club event to be held at The Underground on Oxford Street, Darlinghurst. For the night owls amongst us who like to dance to the sounds of Jason from the JJJ parties. Happy hour from 9.00 - 10.00, until late...

Sunday, 5 December. - SOS - Start of Summer. Sunday afternoon at The Beresford Hotel, Surry Hills. Slide into summer with your favourite lifesavers and for some fun with Joyce Mange as emcee and a show to be provided by, us, the Lifesavers with Pride!!! We're looking to raffle some prizes and sell lifesavers to the punters. 4.00pm - 7.00pm

Beach BBQ - date to be determined on a Saturday around lunch - most probably North Bondi SLSC - a more sedate gathering for us to reconvene and hear about our plans for the future. We're incorporating the association (boring, but necessary), we're hosting some events and need to raise money, and we are keen to hear your ideas on how we can make the Mardi Gras Festival work for all of us.


ASSISTANCE REQUIRED - WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!

As you can imagine, your committee are humble souls who can't do it all. So, we need your help. If you can help - paint signs, photoshop, fold letters, cook sausages, dance, sing or just look good please let us know.

We are particularly interested in hearing from someone who would like to join the committee and help out with events. Speak to Mark, Jono or Michael if you want further details.
