THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT...

Our clubs future is in great hands with our up and coming youth going from strength to
strength and loving every opportunity to learn from our experienced lifesavers and
competitors. What a magic day was shared with young and old at our club champs.

BUILDING UPDATE
We are underway! The new building
foundations are laid! If you havent trekked down
the beach lately youll be pleased to know that
the concrete slab and footings are complete.
The huge slab consisted of over 200 cubic
metres of concrete. A consistent convey of 40
trucks kept the concrete coming in order to pour
the slab.
Now that the slab and foundations are laid,
the plumbing and electrical services will be ran
in and construction of the tilt panel walls will be
taking place over the coming weeks.

CLUBBIE OF
THE MONTH:

LEANNE
MCDONALD
Leanne McDonald is
best described as a
quiet achiever. Few
within the club would
know and recognise
the mammoth amount of
work that she
performs on a weekly
basis.
Not only is Leanne
our Grants
Coordinator, she has
also taken on the
huge role of club
Treasurer.
These are two very
important and time
consuming roles that
Leanne
diligently attends
to. The numerous
grants we have
received over the
years because of
Leannes tireless
work and application
is amazing.
There is never a task
too large for Leanne
to tackle. Thanks to
her savviness, the
clubs accounts have
never looked in
better shape.
