REMEMBER the 8th of May is Mother's Day! The origin of Mother’s Day
goes back to the era of ancient Greek and Romans. But the roots of Mother's Day history can
also be traced to the UK where a Mothering Sunday was celebrated much before the festival
saw the light of the day in the US. However, the celebration of the festival as it is seen today is
a recent phenomenon and not even a hundred years old. Today the festival of Mothers day is
celebrated across 46 countries (though on different dates) and is a hugely popular affair.
Millions of people across the globe take the day as an opportunity to honour their mothers,
thank them for their efforts in giving them life, raising them and being their constant support
and well wisher.
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MUMS!

Torchlight Procession
Captain David Patterson, Di Patterson, Felicity Nicholls, Jason Carty and Tim McCrohan put on their
best marching gear and represented the brigade at the 2011 Bendigo Easter Festival Torchlight Proces-
sion. Support was offered by Donna Papworth and little Kate in her bunny suit. We marched with
members from Elmore Fire Brigade as they proudly displayed a banner indicating their centenary cele-
brations. Nineteen other brigades attended the procession, along with marching bands, army, SES, Na-
vy and the Chinese Dragons. The evening offers an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to
providing a vital service to the community.
New Fire Station
Our new fire station is taking shape and going up quite rapidly. At the moment we expect to have the
official opening in June or July and the Goornong community will be invited to celebrate with us on
that occasion.
Incident Report
We have had a busy 4 weeks with our brigade attending 5 incidents, 4 small vegetation fires (mainly
stubble burns getting out of control) and one tractor fire.
