The Inverloch Surf Life Saving Club has been recognised as one of the best volunteer groups in the State at a presentation held on Sunday May 9 2010. Inverloch Surf Life Saving Club President, Philippe du Plessis and young patrollers, Hilary Hughes and Luke Foster accepted a certificate of recognition from the Premier, John Brumby and Minister for Community Development Lily D'Ambrosia. The Club was nominated for the 2010 Community Volunteering Achievement Award (Regional) as a part of the prestigious Premier’s Volunteering Awards for its achievements, primarily its efforts in providing invaluable public safety services from shipping containers while still raising nearly $1.3 Million in order to commence the construction of a much needed clubhouse at the Inverloch surf beach. The Premier’s Community Volunteering Awards promote and celebrate the range and diversity of volunteering activities in Victoria, including volunteering through community organisations as well as community participation in less formal settings. They recognise the wide range of community and personal benefits of volunteering and community participation. Philippe explained “the Club made it to the final five in the State. Unfortunately for us we were not judged at the best, that honour went to the Willaura Community Development Group. He added, “all the finalist have made a fantastic contribution to their local communities and like us are no doubt proud to have been recognised as a state significant volunteer group”. Club representatives took the opportunity to update the Premier and Minister on the progress of the construction of the clubhouse which is starting to take shape at the surf beach car park with the slab poured and brickwork progressing. As a finalist, the Club received a framed certificate of recognition
and a cheque for $500. Philippe stated that the money will go towards
making up the shortfall of clubhouse funding, approximately $175,000.
He urged the local community and Club supporters to consider buying
a brick before June in order to take advantage of the Club’s
tax deductible status. |
