Tomorrow night (Tuesday 8th) is the second recruiting night we are having down at Kogarah
SES. We meet at Harold Fraser Oval, Princes Highway, Carlton. That's just a little more towards the city than Carss Park shops.
Everyone and anyone is welcome to attend - no obligations. You might just want to have a look at what we do, and how we do it. You can take any task from hands-on climbing on roofs in storms through to paperwork and store tracking. Even people to help out with a BBQ now and then are much appreciated.
The reason that I personally joined SES was because I finished Scouts, and I was being encouraged to move to Venturers. Instead, I jumped across to SES and did roughly the same stuff, got recognised qualifications, and helped out the community in the process.
It wasn't long after meeting Liz that she decided to see what all the fuss was about, and she's be attending ever since also.
In fact, she was featured in the latest (not yet online) issue of
The Lamp, the NSW Nurses Association magazine, in the middle of a lake in her SES gear. They are doing a set of features on what nurses do when not at work. I'll scan it in and put a copy of the interview and picture up here soon.
