Since 1999 Albury Wodonga 4WD Club has supported the Royal Flying Doctor Service & we are acknowledged as an Honorary Member of the RFDS.  Below is a message from the CEO of the South Eastern Section.

Dear Members,

Four weeks ago, communities in Far West NSW were hit by a severe storm. This resulted in over 10,000 properties being left without power, and in some cases telecommunications and internet, while facing days of soaring temperatures. It was such a disruptive event that the State and Commonwealth governments declared the storm a natural disaster.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to our generous supporters who have donated to help us be there for these communities as they needed us. Because of caring supporters like you, we have been able to:

• Open our Wellbeing Place as one of the first facilities after the storms so support was ready and available
• Provide home visits and physical and emotional support to the most vulnerable and;
•  Provide around-the-clock emergency and medical support to the many communities impacted by the outage.
