FUNDRAISING efforts have yielded $7000 to support a memorial scholarship fund in honour of a Wodonga youth whose dream it was to become an air force pilot. Anna Speedie, project officer for the Community Foundation for Albury Wodonga region, is auspicing the Bobby Garratt memorial ADFA scholarship fund.
She said a wine tasting night had raised $500 and $1500 had been raised through proceeds of the sale of Cofields wine. Ms Speedie said the fund had also received $2000 from SMC Pneumatics, $3000 from Chris Meyer of Narellan Pools Sydney and $1000 from a private donor.
“We are well on the way but still need help to get to the $20,000 mark,†she said.
Ms Speedie said further money would be raised through a Christmas pudding drive with puddings provided by Yackandandah Bakery and available for sale for $12 each. Orders close today and can be made by phoning Bobby’s mother Julie Kiroluch on (02) 6056 6887 or 0414 331 044.
