It is that time of year when we call upon your generosity
of heart to support you Association, by renewing your subscription and enjoy
the collegiality of other Friends at the Annual Ladies luncheon at Amora Hotel,
Riverwalk, Richmond on Friday 4 November.
Your committee has been active this year with regular
quarterly meetings organizing those events that carry on the tradition of Pressing on Remembering, and at the AGM
on 22 May the existing executive and committee were re-elected.
The Anzac Day march and lunch was the highlight with our
patron Air Vice Marshall Peter Scully RAAF Retired as guest speaker and Walter
Eacott paying tribute to George Smith, and also having co-authored George’s Obituary that appeared
in The Age in March 2016, which immortalized the ‘Smith Hug’. George’s
contributions to the Odd Bods will be perpetuated in the George Smith Award to
be presented at the Wesley College Anzac Day service to the year 10 student who
is judged to have written the best essay about the Anzac Spirit
The Friends were
also represented at two functions at the Shrine; Victory in Europe Day,
featuring our vice-president Terry Maher on 8 May and the Battle of Britain 76th
Anniversary on 22 September.
So support your Association dig deep and renew your
subscription and join us at the lunch on 4 November
Cheers
