Many train travelers arriving at Springvale station on Saturday 30th May 2009 got an unusual but pleasant surprise as they were greeted by our Youth, Young Adults and Adults. We were celebrating the National Day of Thanksgiving 2009 and to show our appreciation to God we gave out free fruit consisting of apples, mandarins and bananas. Our group of 30, including our very own Pastor Quang and his wife, braved the cool morning to thank God and also thank the leaders of our country for their service.

Greater Dandenong Mayor, Cr Pinar Yesil kindly accepted our invitation to attend the morning so that we could express our appreciation to her and her council for their service to the community, and also give her a large Thank You card that we had signed. After an hour or so of giving out fruit, we all split into 6 teams to go into different areas of Springvale and tidy up rubbish. Many people passing by were impressed and thanked the generous service given by our youth. A total of about 10 bags of rubbish were collected.
