I attended both the Dawn Service and later the March and Ceremony in Young on Anzac Day, both were well attended. I then attended the Bribbaree Anzac Day Service and dinner. We were very pleased to be joined by Colonel Tara Bucknell, Deputy Commander, Australian Army Cadets. On Tuesday I attended the Hennessy College Anzac Day ceremony.

I will not be available for my usual monthly appointments with community members in Harden or Boorowa next Tuesday as I will be in Sydney attending a meeting regarding the potential deeds and lease arrangements for the joint use library facility.

This is the number that the community should use to contact Council during office hours, after hours, weekends and public holidays.

GOLF NEWS On Thursday (Anzac Day) there were only 2 players who played 18 holes and 1 who did nine holes. Jake won, Nora Styles 2nd. Sunday was the come and try day, a little disappointing but the ones that came enjoyed their time. Plenty of spectators, no golfers as there was no comp played. Sunday will be the monthly medal. Thank you to Don and Sue for their cooking. Don’s zucchini slice was a hit with everyone.

CAN’T MAKE IT ON ELECTION DAY?
If you know you can’t vote on Saturday 18 May, you can vote early. It’s amazing how powerful a piece of paper can be on election day. If you are an Australian citizen aged 18 years or over, you are required by law to vote. So, if you’re unable to make it to a polling place on election day, you can vote early at an early voting centre or apply for a postal vote. You can vote early if you are at work on Saturday 18 May, or will be outside the electorate where you are enrolled. There are other reasons you can vote early – visit www.aec.gov.au/early to find out more.
Your vote will help shape Australia.
