**journaling challenge Nov19** TRA pushes me to be more. They tell me I can when I think I can't. This tree planting ceremony was my idea so TRA said go and do it. Um, ok then. Turns out their faith in me wasn't wasted. I planned and executed a tree planting combined with a Remembrance Day ceremony. Rappville had lost three trees n their Avenue of Honour during the Busby's Flat firestorm in Oct 2019. As a veteran led organisation, I thought "how could we not?" replace the lost trees for them. This project was intensely rewarding and I am proud of our team and the results we achieved. Team Rubicon Australia (TRA) in a NGO, not=for-profit. We consist predominantly of volunteers. We work in disaster relief/recovery. DISASTERS ARE OUR BUSINESS, VETERANS ARE OUR PASSION. Service above self is the driving force behind all of TRA's operational activity.
