Anzac Day

Nicole WERNER (Warrandyte) (10:38): I recently had the profound honour of participating in our local Anzac Day services. Thank you to Warrandyte RSL for organising the meaningful annual march and a beautiful service. I would like to thank president David Ryan, treasurer Colin Sharp, secretary Warrick Harvey, committee members Horrie Aldenhoven, Jennifer Bryant, Jim Pollard, Don Hughes along with his right-hand man/dog Zeus, Peter ‘Jock’ Fallon and the many others behind the scenes.

Doncaster RSL held a moving dawn service, and I would like to thank their president Dennis Clarke, vice-president Nevio Piaser, secretary Dot Haynes OAM, treasurer Martha Clarke and community connections officer Barry Halpern. Thanks also to Kylie Peek for the horse and handler Lexi, the Australian Air League’s Thomas Howe for the crosses display, and the local police and Manningham City Rotary for providing the barbecue. Lest we forget.
