Friday morning, December 12.<\/p>\n<p>CROW-FM 90.7 will be holding an on-air auction of donated goods between 6:00am and 9:00am.<\/p>\n<p>The auction is the latest fund-raiser for the Charlotte The Emu Memorial Committee, which is aiming to raise $10,000 to erect a permanent, sold steel statue of the former town emu in the heart of Wondai.<\/p>\n<p>Collection tins for the appeal were distributed to businesses in Wondai, Murgon and Kingaroy in late September; and last month the group held a successful open-air screening of &#8220;Red Dog&#8221; in Coronation Park which generated more than $700 towards the project.<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte&#8217;s statue is currently being built by award-winning Kilkivan metal sculptor Dan Davie, and is expected to be unveiled at a public function in Coronation Park on Australia day.<\/p>\n<p>Friday morning&#8217;s radiothon will offer 14 items donated by local businesses to assist the appeal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Items that will be up for bids
