BOORT Amity Club has seen membership grow in the past year, re-elected president Maree Stringer said in her report at Tuesday’s annual dinner.
Club members and guests celebrated the year at Pyramid Hill’s Victoria Hotel and heard from guest speakers Mansi and Shashi Chawla, owners of the Boort supermarket.
Maree reported that four new members had joined the club - Di Foot, Steph Brooks, Madeleine Scott and Carol Smith.
She said highlights included donations to the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal, Boort District School, Boort Pre-School, Boort Swimming Club, Cancer Council and the town’s football, netball and hockey club.
Members had also assisted at trotting club race meetings, organised the Christmas lights competition and were part of organisation of Australia Day and ANZAC Day.
“The more events we hold and more frequently we get out into the community will hopefully give the public a better understanding of this great club,” she said,
“Amity is as much about inclusion and the social aspect as it is about being able to support our local community and beyond.”
Also installed at Tuesday night’s dinner were vice-president Sandra Poyner, secretary Kathy Lowrie, treasurer Lynette Clark and assistant secretary Kellie Hare.
