CFA was part of International Volunteer Day on 5 December 2008. Below is a message from Minister for Energy and Resources and Community Development Peter Batchelor:

Good Morning

I would like to pass on my thanks to you, and to all the volunteers from your organisation who came along on Friday to help us celebrate International Volunteer Day. You helped make it a very special occasion, and all the vehicles and volunteers outside Parliament House made a spectacular sight!

As I said in my speech, we really couldn't do it without you and we really appreciate your help all year-round.

Best wishes to you and your families for the festive season.

Regards,

Peter Batchelor

Victorian Minister for Energy and Resources and Community Development
