A word from our President

"I’d like to remind ALL Members how important your personal support is in several aspects – financial, volunteering, and/or attending our events. When renewal notices come out in June, you will be invited to contribute to our charity trust via your ‘primary’ fines or donations. Some of you should also consider stepping up to ‘Golden Duck Donor’ status.

"There are currently 48 members in this category who annually donate $1,000 or more."

President Jim Maxwell AM
