Presidents’ Message

29/01/2014 Whilst Australia Day is a memorable day for many citizens, it is an even bigger memorable day for RC Club of Albury – Hume, with the news that our late member Alan Hodge has been awarded a posthumous OAM General Div. for services to Communities of Table Top and Albury. Alan was a member of this Club from 1969 to his passing in December 2012. He held Executive positions within our club including President, Secretary, Treasurer, besides other activities of membership and Commodore of Wodonga Yacht Club, he also performed Meals on Wheels in excess of 30 years, and a local Justice of the Peace for 40 years. That is to say nothing of the loyal service he provided to his local Fire Service which exceeded the length of time he served within our Club. I know that quiet as she is, Phyllis and his family will be so proud that all his voluntary work has been so recognised. Also the Board and members offer their congratulations to Alf Armstrong of RC of North Albury who was voted the 2013 Albury City Council ‘ Volunteer’ of the Year .
