NEW CLUB PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT

Following the AGM in October last year, the Board elected myself as president and Christine Benham as Vice President.

Christine Benham was elected to the Board in November 2008. Her service not only to the Club, but to the community, is immeasurable.

Christine is the Liaison Director for Revesby Workers’ Women’s Hockey, Revesby Workers’ Swim Club, Bankstown Stroke Support Group, Revesby Workers’ Senior Golf and Revesby Workers’ Netball.

Her dedication and support for all things community made it a very easy decision to elect her as the Vice President. Her passion for the Club and its members will ensure a very positive future for the Revesby Workers’ Group.

MEMBER ANNIVERSARY EVENTS

We would also like to take the opportunity to share some photos from our Member Anniversary events that took place on 24 October 2024 in our new Whitlam Theatre. Our 40 and 50-year members were invited to an afternoon event while our 25-year members joined us for an evening event.

The Board of Directors were honoured to be able to recognise the loyalty of those 25, 40 and 50 year members to our Club.

We would like to recognise the efforts of our Marketing and Food and Beverage teams for managing both events. The success of these events is a credit to their hard work and dedication.

We look forward to celebrating these events again later in the year with our Members.

FAREWELL BRUCE BREESE

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation to Mooney Mooney resident and long-term member of the Advisory Committee Bruce Breese. Bruce has demonstrated an unwavering dedication and service to the Mooney Mooney community. His contributions have made a lasting impact. Through Bruce’s hard work, commitment, and compassion, he has helped foster a sense of unity, strength, and resilience in the Mooney Mooney community.

Bruce retired from the Advisory Committee in December as he plans his future further up the North Coast.

Bruce your efforts do not go unnoticed, and we are truly fortunate to have someone like you who consistently strives to make the world a better place. Thank you for your incredible service.
