Resident Interviews

Congratulations to Currie Park resident, Gillian Allen, who was recently honoured with the prestigious Rotary award, the Paul Harris Fellow, at a special Rotary Dinner in Euroa, in recognition of her services in the community and to Rotary.

Walter Davies, better known as Nugget, has had to ‘start over’ a couple of times since moving into Leith Park in July 2012. When he and his wife, Margaret, first moved in he thought he would go mad working out how to fill the days. But the couple did start to build their new life away from the home they had left in Whittlesea. They kept old friends and made new ones.

Marg Finlayson isn’t surprised anymore when friends, Rushall Park neighbours and fellow worshippers from St Philip’s Anglican Church in Collingwood, slip her a few dollars. They know she is spending it wisely

Mary Tasker leaves her mark, whether it’s at the Berwick Uniting Church where she arranges the flowers and produces the weekly bulletin, or in the Braeside Park Community Room where she runs exercise classes twice a week.

“I need a secretary” Ellen Doyle-Roberts says jokingly as she discusses community life at Currie Park as well as in the wider Euroa community. At the very least she needs more hours in the day!

OCAV will join all Australians on ANZAC Day in paying respects to our returned service men and women. There are several men and women within our own ‘ranks’ who we acknowledge on Monday, April 25.
