Great job guys.
However, we cannot add $8k to our total, direct or indirect. If we can get a figure for the buckets you guys were carrying that would be great, but I know that would be hard. Just by being at an event doesn't mean you indirectly raise the funds gained on that day. If that was the case then we could indirectly claim $1.4 million for the Bridge to Brisbane, $500k for the MS Moonlight Walk, $5 million for Pink Stumps Day. I know that a few of the international Garrisons do this to make themselves look good and to inflate the Legion totals. We do not do that here in the Redback Garrison though. Direct funds is what we focus on as they are what we really collect to help all our wonderful charities, directly.
Regardless of the funds in question this looked like a great troop and a lot of fun. Great work to all that attended. Helping Starlight in anyway is always a thrill and a rewarding troop.
