This Friday, April 15 the following events will be held around the region.
There is also a great number of events held right across the Easter long weekend so check out what is on around the region this weekend.
Yarrawonga
The Good Friday Appeal is on this Friday and the Yarrawonga CFA and SES will be back collecting money for the appeal around the streets of Yarrawonga. This year will be a little different, as they will not be going to the door of houses but will be walking down streets with vehicles making lots of noise to alert people they’re in your street so you can come out and donate money.
Mums, dad's and kids, come on down and be a part of this fantastic day collecting for the sick children. The more help, the quicker the group finish covering the town. If you would like to assist in volunteering to collect donations, the day will start at 8am at the Yarrawonga fire station. The station will be open from 8am for people to also donate there.
The Yarrawonga Yacht Club is also raising funds for the Children's Hospital with fantastic music from the famous Bali Band as well as an Easter egg hunt, woodfire pizza and big Easter raffle from 3pm.
In the meantime, a number of businesses around Yarrawonga including CMCU, which is currently displaying a large banner out the front of the branch, are collecting donations for the Good Friday Appeal with collection tins aligning front counters.
Also running in-store and online from March 30 to April 19 customers at Woolworths Yarrawonga Central can support the Good Friday Appeal by simply adding a $2 Easter egg-shaped token to their shop or by making a Round Up donation at Woolworths self-service check-outs.
