The Guest Speaker was Gemma Cameron from the St Vincent de Paul Society’s Liverpool Night Patrol. Gemma described the Patrol as consisting of a van operating five nights per week (Tuesday to Saturday) in Liverpool and Sadleir. The Patrol provides meals, blankets, toiletries, snacks, hot beverages and most importantly, companionship to people who are living rough or in overcrowded or insecure accommodation.

The locations and times of the Patrol are:

Liverpool Pioneers Memorial Park- Macquarie Street, Liverpool: 8.30pm- 9.00pm

Edwin Wheeler Oval/Miller Park – Cnr Maxwells Avenue and Cartwright Ave, Sadleir: 9:15pm – 9:45pm.

Gemma issued an invitation for any Club member to join the Patrol to help assist the 100 volunteers involved in this important work in our community.

 

On Friday night we held our fund Raising night for Miracle Babies Foundation which was a success raising much need funds for this group. The night was attended by over 150 people at the Macquarie Paradiso Lounge who contributed to the success of the night through their sponsorships and generosity.
