acting chair of the Dinalview CPF, explained how the group raised the funds they donated to the SPCA and why they decided to support the SPCA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring 2014, the Dinalview CPF held boerewors roll sales on the first Saturday of each month to raise funds for petrol for our patrollers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs all charity organisations know, raising funds is a difficult task.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDue to the tremendous response we have received, we managed to raise enough money to keep our patrollers on the road and have a little bit extra money on hand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur mission is to keep the community safe by doing visible patrols in the area and report any suspicious activity to the local police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe feel that our four legged family members also play an integral role in keeping our families safe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is why we chose the Germiston SPCA to benefit from our fundraising initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Dinalview CPF thanked the community for their support during the 2014, and look forward to the continued support in 2015.<\/p>\n<div class=\"stream-item stream-item-below-post-content\">\n<div class='tenancy_slot tenancy_slot_1
