Hello Everyone,
Winter is fast approaching… I know I am feeling the cold after a few beautiful autumn days! The season finished on Anzac Day with sensational weather, a very high tide and an awesome voluntary patrol team. Highlight of the day was a breaching dolphin and so many familiar faces on the beach.
It is National Volunteers Week…deepest thank you to all the incredible individuals who dedicate their time and energy to Fairhaven SLSC. We couldn’t do what we do without volunteers who are the heart of everything we do. Thank you for your valuable contributions… #thechangemakers making a difference in our communities.
The King’s Birthday long weekend is shaping up to be eventful! Come and have a row in a surfboat, drop in to Anglesea to see the IRB team in action, grab some Merch to keep you warm, dance the night away at the Extravaganza and see you at our Annual General Meeting!
