Two weeks ago Our Volunteers had a very busy day of fundraising!

During the day we had 7 members assist Rotary Club of Mount Martha with a BBQ at Mt Martha Village, where there was a great turn out and public awareness of our community association.

During the afternoon into the evening, our Fundraising Committee were setting up for our Annual Trivia Night, our Biggest Fundraising Event of the year! (More photos & videos to come)

Thank you! to our amazing community on this beautiful Peninsula we call home.

We stand committed to
“Serving our Community in the Protection of Life at Sea”

In any weather since 1980.

VMR Mornington were out this afternoon and into the evening getting some valuable rough weather training in. This is always a great opportunity to make sure we are ready for any weather when the call comes in that people are in trouble.

It’s definitely wild out there tonight, stay safe out on the water.

This National Volunteer Week, we sincerely thank our team of dedicated volunteers at VMR Mornington/Hastings for their service.

For just over 45 years our Operational members both past and present have never failed to respond to a call out when requested on Western Port or Port Phillip, in their quest to maintain the motto "To Serve our Community in the Protection of Life at Sea"

Supporting our Operational Members is a great Fundraising and Social Sub Committee who work hard to raise vital funds to assist us in helping to keep the boating community safe.

To every single one of our members, we acknowledge your effort, and appreciate all that you do.

And this week, we also acknowledge our fellow volunteer marine rescue teams who work with us, thank you for your shared dedication to volunteering in this very valuable support service we all strive to deliver to our Community.

We honour the dedication and commitment of the volunteers who strive to serve the boating community in Ballina and all over Australia. Our thoughts are with family, friends and colleagues of the volunteers who have sacrificed their lives in the protection of others at sea, and we pay tribute to their selfless service and commitment to others. We stand with you in your grief.
