Peter Ellerton, from the Rotary Club of Bacchus Marsh, said he hoped to see even more success this Christmas. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast year we raised $3,000 for each club,\u201d he said.<br \/>\n\u201cThe funds raised are put straight back into the community. For Rotary, the money was used to fund a number of our local community projects including breakfast clubs at schools, literacy programs, graffiti removal and other youth services\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>Jane Fraser, Bacchus Marsh SES Unit Officer for Community Events, said the drive helped keep the State Emergency Service in operation.<br \/>\n\u201cLast year we partnered with Rotary and it was a great success, so we decided to run the drive again, in order to keep giving back to the community,\u201d she said.    <\/p>\n<p>The 2016 drive, alongside other annual fundraisers, allowed SES volunteers to purchase new motorbikes, trailers and a lighting tower.<br \/>\nThis year\u2019s event will run on the first and second weekends of December. <\/p>\n<p>Ms Fraser said the project would commence at 7:30am at SES Headquarters. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe plan to run sales until 7pm or until sold out. Last year we were sold out before 12pm\u201d.<br \/>\nThe volunteer organisations will also provide a pick-up and delivery service for an extra $10. <\/p>\n<p>Bacchus Marsh SES Headquarters is located on Gisborne Road, Bacchus Marsh.
