Yarra Valley FM is holding a fund-raising trivia night on Saturday 14 October from 7pm at Mt Evelyn RSL.
There will be silent auctions, games, entertainment, prizes and giveaways with all proceeds going to the station.
The night will be held by two of Yarra Valley’s presenters, Neil Bull and Robert Jordan.
Ex-committee member Robert Jordan, who does two shows a week on the radio station, says that it’s important to raise as much as they can.
“We are hoping to raise $2000 on the night,” he said.
“If we don’t raise much, we end up using old microphones and chairs that are worn out.”
Community Connection Co-ordinator Greg Carrick said it should be an entertaining night for all guests.
“It will be a fun time for all involved,” he said.
“It will be a great time for people to put the presenters’ voices to the faces,” he said.
With prizes donated by business in the Yarra Valley, Mr Carrick said he hoped the station could get much-needed funds for the general costs of the station.
“We are always after good microphones,” he said.
“We also need it for rent, licensing for playing music and general electricity.”
Mr Carrick believes the station is well organised ahead of the event and is looking forward to seeing as many people as possible in attendance.
“We think we are organised ahead of the event,” he said.
“We just need people to come along.”
It will be $20 per person, with guests expected to bring their own nibbles.
