On behalf of the Hills Big Band, President Peter Tate and band member Karina Lamont accepted a cheque from the Mundaring Community Bank (Bendigo Bank) for $1000. Mundaring Community Bank representatives Nicola Smith (Community Engagement Committee), Tara Herbert (Branch Director) and Ben Fillery (Branch Director)were on hand to present the cheque. Unfortunately long time friend of the Hills Big Band and promoter of this donation Karen Beale (Executive Officer Mundaring Community Financial Service) could not be present. The Hills Big Band are using the grant to purchase two flugel horns to enhance their performances around the Hills area.
