March 25th 2007 we entered into our frst Relay for Life at Perry Lakes Stadium. It was great team lead by Captain Graham Horrex. Sponsorship was above expectations and as a new small club we managed to raise in excess of $5000. for the cause. What an enjoyable and inspiring weekend .

CHILD OF COURAGE APRIL 2007

PARIS DONALD BECAME OUR CHILD OF COURAGE FOR 2007.

PARIS LOVES HER NEW PURPLE WHEELCHAIR. PURPLE IS HER FAVOURITE COLOUR.

During our first 'FULL' year in operation the clubs achievments were way beyond anything that we had expected when we first set out. Most funds raised were from Sausage sizzles held around the area but mainly at Livingston Shopping Centre. Volunteers from the Club go out into the community to help those less fortunate than ourselves that are unable to do some household tasks that most of us take for granted. One of those services is garden clearance.

The letter below is from one of our very grateful recipients.
